Historical, LGBTQ+, Literary
Lisa Montanaro is part no-nonsense Italian American New Yorker and part sunny Californian. Her unique background encompasses performer, teacher of the Deaf, lawyer, productivity consultant, writer coach, speaker, and author. Lisa’s debut novel, Everything We Thought Was True, published by Red Adept Publishing, drew inspiration from her family history and examines the corrosive nature of secrets—those we keep from ourselves, from each other, and from society. It won first place for Best New Fiction/Debut in the American Writing Awards, first place for LGBTQ Fiction in the International Firebird Book Awards, received Honorable Mention for General Fiction in the Los Angeles Book Festival, and was a finalist for LGBTQ Fiction in the National Indie Excellence Awards. Lisa serves as webinar host for the Women’s Fiction Writers Association. When not writing, Lisa enjoys cycling and hiking with her veterinarian husband, tending to her garden, and chasing after their rescue dog.
