About Lisa

A life-long New Englander, Lisa Norato lives in a historic village with homes and churches dating as far back as the eighteenth century. She was born into a close-knit Italian family that hungered as much for the things of God as they did for lasagna. After church, the family spent Sunday afternoons gathered in fellowship around a never-ending feast that featured her grandmother's homemade spaghetti and pizza.

From the time she learned to read, her mother impressed her with the joy of getting lost in a good book. She passed novels along to her as early as age thirteen, but it wasn't until many years later that Lisa felt compelled to write one herself.

She first discovered a love of writing when assigned to write and illustrate a children's book at the art college she attended. She balances writing with a career as a legal assistant specializing in corporate law. When not creating stories, she enjoys domestic pursuits like precious time with her dog and family, cooking, baking and eating vegan, reading, her Bible, her favorite television shows and crocheting.

Lisa is a member of the Romance Writers of America (RWA), American Christian Fiction Writers (ACRW), Rhode Island Romance Writers (RIRW) and American Colonial Christian Writers.

Meet Chaka

Chaka was born April 26, 2001. She is a six and half pound yorkshire terrier-poodle mix with a sweet, sensitive soul. Her favorite pastime is going for long walks.

She spends most of her day sitting in her comfy chair watching happenings on the street through the living room window. Other days she spends visiting her Grammy and Grampy. She also enjoys chasing rabbits from her backyard, barking at the neighborhood cats, and car rides with the wind in her face as she sticks her head out the window. Chaka is always up for a good adventure and loves to be on the go. She is a blessing from God...a true gift.
