Introduction Lisa Lipkind Leibow's debut novel DOUBLE OUT AND BACK is available now at Red Rose Publishing. Prior to pursuing the literary dream of novel writing, Lisa practiced law for 11 years, drafting legal briefs and memoranda. Now that she is a recovering attorney/novelist she is working on her second novel. Lisa's work appeared in the Winter 2009 issue of the Pisgah Review. She has participated in exclusive writers' workshops and retreats, including the Fine Arts Work Center, Algonkian Workshops, and the Bethesda Writers Center. She has also won an honorable mention in the John Gardner Award for Best Character Description. She lives with her husband, three sons, a dog named Bosco, and two turtles. Her boys would like to add a parakeet to the menagerie. However, that's a whole blog entry in itself!
Interests Writing, Running & yoga (to offset the impact of sitting and writing all the time), and laughing with my husband and three sons.
Favorite Movies Young Frankenstein, The Wizard of Oz, Forrest Gump
Favorite Music Pretty much anything but country music. But here are a few favorites: Beatles, Queen, Mika (he sounds like Freddie Mercury reincarnated!), John Maher.
Favorite Books Here are some that inspired me to want to write: Fountainhead, Cold Mountain, Poisonwood Bible, The Joy Luck Club. Here are some that were just plain fun to get lost in: Wicked, Harry Potter Series, Gilead.
