Lisa Gay has dreamed of being a writer since junior high. For most of her life she wrote simply to entertain herself, but her wife believed she could do more...and so she did. She now lives in the same small Oregon town she was born in. She tried living in other states, but she missed the green of the Willamette Valley too much. She introduced the love of her life to Oregon and she fell in love with the state too. They now live the small town life and are staff to a demanding cat who believes he owns the world.
