Lisa Harnish grew up mostly in Michigan, and relocated to Chandler, Arizona in 1995. Since then, she has worked professionally in marketing, data management and certification management. In 2002, Lisa took a weekend ceramics class, and was instantly addicted to clay. Since then, she has developed an ongoing ceramic art business and her porcelain pottery can be found in several art galleries in the Phoenix metro area. Most recently, the creative urge has taken her into the realm of writing fiction. “Consolidation” is her debut series of novels about surviving a worldwide pandemic.

Since releasing my own novels, and working on writing more, reading other people's work has devolved into "competitive research". There's been a few good gems. I particularly enjoyed Kyla Stone's Nuclear Dawn series. But mostly, I find it distracting to read other work, while I'm working on my own stories. So, when I need to relax, I turn to TV (police procedurals are good for this - story is wrapped up in an hour, don't have to get emotionally invested in a long narrative)(less)

I read so many books about really bad situations, that it makes me want to NOT live there. I have to turn to some traditional space opera sci-fi to find a world fascinating enough to want to live there, but even then, there are some caveats. The world of Barryar, from the Vorkosigan Saga by Louis Bujold McMasters would be one possibility, although I'd have to work for social change and gender equality to make it doable. The Foreigner series by CJ Cherryh is another option. (less)
