edit data

Hi, I’m Lisa Felkins.

I write emotionally-driven fiction about the messy, beautiful parts of life—love, loss, healing, and finding your way when everything feels broken.

My debut novel, Things That Break Us, takes readers from Botswana to the U.S., following a young medical student who must confront the pain she’s buried and the expectations she’s outgrown.

When I’m not writing, I’m working as a family nurse practitioner, chasing after my two kids, or listening to any audiobook narrated by Julia Whelan (I’m a little obsessed—it's my dream to have her narrate my book).

I read everything from book club fiction to memoirs to romance. If you love heartfelt, character-driven stories, I’d love to connect here!
