Lisa Brideau

LISA BRIDEAU (‘BREE-doe’) was born and raised in Nova Scotia, Canada in the unceded territory of the Mi’kmaw People. Her writing is inspired by the ridiculous quantities of science fiction she read during her formative years with a crust of CanLit layered on top.​

She has a Bachelor degree in Aerospace Engineering from Carleton University and a Master of Science in Urban Planning from the University of British Columbia and currently works as a sustainability specialist. When she takes breaks from trying to mitigate catastrophic climate change, she likes to write speculative fiction or practice her waltz. She lives in Vancouver, BC (the unceded territory of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples) with her partner and their herd of cats. She is most likely cuddling a cat right now.​ADRIFT is Lisa's first novel.
