Lisa Cerasoli started her career in the arts as an actor in Los Angeles in 1995. She was a series regular on daytime’s General Hospital and had recurring roles on several nighttime series, including The Pretender, before getting bit by the writing bug. In 2003, she left L.A. for Michigan to take care of her ailing father. This is where she was able to help her family while focusing on a career in writing. Her memoir, As Nora Jo Fades Away, was published in 2010, winning the London, Paris, & Los Angeles Book Festivals. It's currently optioned for television. In 2011, after caring for her grandmother in her home for several years, Lisa directed and executive produced (w/Hollywood producer Ken Atchity) the documentary short 14 Days with Alzheimer’s to expose dementia-related illnesses to younger generations. The film was an official selection in 16 festivals, and she spoke all over the country about the joys and hardships of caregiving. Lisa founded the editorial and book design company 529 Books in 2013. In its twelfth year, the company has worked on over 1,000 books for independent publishing, including 100+ thrillers and crime novels with 350,000+ reviews on Amazon. She is also a VP at Atchity’s company, Story Merchant Books, where she is a ghostwriter, screenwriter, developmental editor, and writing coach. There’s nothing that inspires her more than a person with a passion to tell the story that keeps them up at night—except her adult daughter, Jazz, who is her favorite everything. Lisa currently lives in San Diego with Jazz, spending summers in Marquette, a picturesque town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan built along the shores of the great Lake Superior. She enjoys hiking, yoga, all things DIY, walking the family Yorkie Poos, binge-watching great series—her all-time favorite comedy is The Big Bang Theory—and audiobooks. She’s got it bad for a great audiobook, especially those narrated by voice actors with European accents. She's authored or coauthored eleven books and counting.
