Lisamarie Lamb

Bewildering Stories biography

My name is Lisamarie Lamb and I’m 29 years old. I was five when I wrote my first short story. It involved a car going over a cliff: “Jessica Fletcher and the Phantom Raspberry Blower.” It didn’t have much of a plot (he did it, she solved it), but it did have rather colourful (crayon) illustrations and it did make me realise that writing was for me.

At 12 I wrote my first novel during the school summer holidays. Loosely based on the Famous Five, with a bit of James Bond thrown in, it was an adventure story, and my teacher made me read some of it out in class. And that’s when I realised that I wanted people to hear my stories and read my work.

Over the intervening years, I have written various short stories, plays, poems and novels in different genres, including romance and children’s books. I’m pleased with what I have written, and hope you are too. If you wish to see more examples of my writing, I have a blog in which I showcase flash fiction: www.themoonlitdoor.blogspot.com.

I promise I’m better at plots now, and I use my own characters, but the excitement, fun and just a little wonder are still there. My crayon skills have not improved.
