Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here
I’m Lisa—author, advocate, and storyteller.
I write stories shaped by lived experience—stories about resilience, identity, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going. Whether you’re here for connection, understanding, or simply a good story, you are in the right place.

ABOUT AUTHOR
Lisa McCombs
A former public school teacher, Lisa’s world revolved around her students until she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. That’s when Shel Silverstein’s poetry began making sense.
"When the light is green, you go. When the light is red, you stop. But what do you do when the light turns blue with orange and lavender spots? "
Leaving the physical classroom behind her, the teacher-turned-author helps young readers try to make sense of their differences.
