Lisa Rumsey Harris grew up writing stories and riding horses in Southeastern Idaho.
She is a writer, mother, wife, and teacher. She received a bachelor’s and master’s degree in English from Brigham Young University. By day, she teaches Honors writing classes at Brigham Young University. By night, she writes fiction and creative non-fiction. In between, she does laundry, stops fights, french-braids hair, loses her sanity and rarely cooks.
Lisa lives in Orem Utah, with her ancient Siamese cat, her husband (who cooks nearly as well as Dennis) and her two adorable daughters.
Ten Fun Things About Lisa:
1.
I come from a long line of teachers. My mother
was my high school Spanish teacher for four years, and I got to watch, in
action, the kind of hard and sometimes gut-wrenching experiences she went
through. She was, and is, an inspiration to me.
2.
I can balance a spoon on the end of my nose for
hours. I also bequeathed this gift to my two daughters.
3.
Right now, I’m giving birth to a book, and a new
baby (due in January 2013). I’m not sure which process is more labor intensive.
4.
I love to give my writing students extra credit
for crazy things: like wearing ugly sweaters, or selling ridiculous items on
ebay.
5.
I adore high heels. I’m a short girl, and I love to feel tall.
6.
I have a little bit of Grammy Blume’s disco
fever. I was on the dance team in high
school, and I still love to shake my booty. I currently have the highest score
in my house in Just Dance.
7.
I love the idea of flawed, ordinary people doing
everyday extraordinary things.
8.
I started riding horses before I could walk. I
won my first horse show when I was six. I still have the belt buckle.
9.
I married a man who can cook better than I can.
And I’m so glad I did.
10.
I’ve got more of Treasure’s story brewing in my
brain: love, betrayal, reality TV, rival dance teams, more Patience, Donnie
Osmond in a smart car, and ostrich farming. Now I just need to find time to
write!
When Lisa began writing Treasure Blume, her oldest daughter was in first grade.
Her youngest daughter finished first grade this year.
