After graduating from the S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University and spending many years as an advertising creative director and copywriter in New York City, Lisa Roe accepted the tougher job of stay-at-home mom and turned to writing fiction — mostly to entertain her kids, but then to tell her own stories. A classic first born, a reluctant empty nester, and a Dr. Doolittle wannabe, Lisa lives in New Jersey with her husband and three incorrigible dogs. WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD is her debut novel.
Genres: General Fiction
Lisa Roe recommends
Dear Eliza (2024)
Andrea J Stein
"Engaging and heartfelt...with splashes of humor in all the right places. I was Team Eliza from page one!."
The Friendship Breakup (2023)
Annie Cathryn
"Annie Cathryn's debut, The Friendship Breakup is a highly entertaining and snort-thru-your-nose-funny look at female friendships - the politics, the allegiances, the mudslinging in the suburban mommy world - that at its core is a love letter to our deep need for community, connection and most importantly, to knowing our own heart. Put it at the top of your reading list!"
