Seller of Purple & The Old-Fashioned Everything Girl ...
Lisa lives in rural, scenic Kentucky with her husband Robert of nineteen years. Together, they have five children. She enjoys homeschooling her two youngest children. She has a son in college and two stepdaughters, grown. They have an abandoned cat (her son rescued) and an adopted English Cocker Spaniel.
She desires to tell the world all the wonderful things her Savior has done for her and in her life. Lisa does that best through sharing her stories, though fictional-- with traces of her own life experiences or lessons learned.
She recently completed a series called "The Lydia Collection." This collection of Christian Historical Romance can be read in any order as the stories are each unique and do not intersect. This collection includes a modern day Regency "Ruth" romance, an Antebellum Era romance, and a Jane Austen-ish mail order bride story with a Pioneer Era setting.
When Lisa isn't writing she enjoys spending time with family, working in the church, gardening, swimming, working out, walking, cross stitch, sewing, crochet and reading. She also enjoys cooking and baking, scrap-booking and making arts and crafts. She especially loves all things old-fashioned. She grew up with a strong love for reading classic literature and loves history. Some of her favorite books include: "Jane Eyre," "The Little House on the Prairie" collection, the Jane Austen collection, "Heidi," the "Anne of Green Gables" collection, and "Little Women."
Lisa spent some of her early childhood growing up on a farm in Minnesota and later in the Ohio Valley. At age thirteen, she earned enough income to buy a manual typewriter to write stories on. She won a prize for a short story in 8th grade. In kindergarten, instead of playing with the other children, she can remember preferring to write her first 'book:' a compilation of illustrations ...and with help from the teacher, a few words-- though she couldn't spell yet. She remembers the teacher stapled the pages together upon her request. She has been writing ever since and enjoys sharing her faith in Jesus Christ through her writing. She still enjoys making many of her own illustrations from time to time.
Her writing dream stems from a desire to be a part of meeting a huge need in today's culture for providing entertainment and educational literature that is rich, honors God, is family oriented --and especially draws people closer to and inspires faith in Jesus. She has devoted herself to writing wholesome books that share the good news of a Risen Savior with a world looking for hope. She loves to share scripture and Biblical truth in ways that are relevant to the lives of her readers and told in an interesting way.
Lisa loves to hear feedback and keep in touch with her readers. She loves to get reader reviews on websites where her books can be purchased! Favorable reader reviews drive sales up and influence other readers to purchase and read her books. Be sure to sign up on this website to get her newsletter and be on the mailing list to hear when her new books launch and access special pages of useful, educational, and personal information on this website.
Lisa wants her readers to know their purchase and support of her work is beneficial to furthering the kingdom of God. Each month, she gives a portion of her book proceeds to support missionaries and evangelists who spread the gospel, following the model of Lydia in the Bible who supported the New Testament Paul --and other examples in the Word --of women who "ministered of their substance" to those doing the work of Christ. In this way, when we work together, we are all entering into the labors for a harvest of souls.

"It's wonderful that opportunities are available with modern tools in today's world for Christian 'Indie Authors' to finally be able to publish works that shine a beacon of truth and light in a hurting world. Our words can be seeds of faith and hope that lead people closer in their relationship to Jesus Christ." -- Lisa M. Prysock, Author
"If authors like Louisa May Alcott, Jane Austen, Lucy Maude Montgomery, Laura Ingalls Wilder, or Charles Spurgeon were alive today, they would be all over this Indie Author thing!"
