Ava's Cozy Corner welcomes Author Lisa B. Thomas. Lisa discusses her books, the stories behind the books, and her writing process.

Born and raised in Texas, I always knew I wanted to be a writer. Finally, after thirty-three years as a high school Journalism and English teacher, I released my first novel. Having grown up reading Trixie Belden, Nancy Drew, and Agatha Christie, I was drawn to the cozy mystery genre.

With two grown children out of the nest, I live a simple life with my husband and my dog, Kiki. Besides writing, I enjoy playing with my grandchildren, photography, traveling, and antiquing (aka. buying and selling used junk).
