About
I was born in Oakland, California and raised in San Jose until I was a sophomore in high school. My father then took a job in the San Diego area where he moved our family to Escondido, California. I finished high school there and went on to Palomar Junior College and then finished at San Diego State University with a degree in Finance.
I now live and write in Park City, UT. I love the story, which inspires me to write. I enjoy travel, the beach, good wine and friends, and my characters. I have three baby pygmy goats that make us laugh.
Description
<p><strong><em>Have you ever awoken from a vivid dream and wondered which side of waking was real?</em></strong></p><p>Burt Higgins' retirement is not going well. His children have grown, and his wife has gone off to earn a late-life degree, leaving him alone in his sprawling suburban home. With too much time on his hands, he broods on the state of the world, obsessively following the worst of cable news and the Internet. Increasingly angry at the state of affairs, he nurtures a fantasy that a dark lord from another realm has foisted these problems on humankind. If only he could transport to that world, he'd confront the demon and use the magic found there to defeat the beast and end despair forever.</p><p>On a particularly bad news day, while housebound in the midst of a snowstorm, he retreats to his study to shut out the world and immerse himself in his books. When, on a whim, he lights a candle purchased in an obscure Prague curiosity shop, a magical guide appears and offers to take him on whatever quest he chooses. When he asks to become a hero in a fantasy realm, he discovers a more complex world than he expected, and battling evil with magic turns out to be far from his greatest challenge.</p><p><strong>EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS</strong> a specualtive fantasy adventure sure not just to entertain you, but to make you consider your life, your dreams, your goals.

Story Behind The Book
A very good friend of mine died at 47, he was the boy in a band. A talented musician, but lost in other ways. I used a lot of his story to write Boy in a Band.

<p>Okay ya'll... I got this when it was FREE and after reading a book that I wasn't too pleased with I needed a pick me up and Rock Stars always do that to me.... What I didn't realize is this was going to have me on such an emotional roller coaster and book high for days.... Lisa Loomis Freaking rocks! This started out in the 70's which is completely different than any other book I have read thus far and it grabs you by the balls and doesn't let go. There is a lot of sex, drugs and of course rock n roll. I literally bawled like a freaking baby.... real crocodile tears. I even cried twice more trying to tell my friend Tracie and my daughter about the book... I don't give spoilers but will say this I was pissed several times at the author in between the tears and the snot running from my nose. She was BRILLIANT! I have spread the word and have three reading already. You Rock Kid! ;) I will be on a book high for days!</p>
