Lisa Strømme

Born in Yorkshire, raised in Leeds, Tehran and Glasgow, and now living in Norway, Lisa is something of a global citizen. With a degree in Marketing from Strathclyde University, she was originally lulled into the corporate world but promptly left it when she left the UK. Over the years, she has worked as a translator, text editor and English teacher, but more recently has become a creativity coach teaching courses in the creative process and helping fellow creative types to combat common issues such as writers block, procrastination and perfectionism. She is fascinated by history and her passion is writing historic fiction. The Strawberry Girl, a story about the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, is her first novel. Lisa lives near Oslo with her husband and two teenage children.
