LisaI grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska and left the plains to attend BYU. I earned a degree in English and taught middle school and high school for a while. I married an incredibly funny and talented man who convinced me to move to England for a while so he could study Shakespeare. He is currently a theater professor. We’ve been married 13 years. I love painting, reading, and performing improvisational theater. My big outlet is performing with “The Thrillionaires.” We perform theater as improv and make up full-length plays and musicals on the spot. I’ve done various voice-over and commercial work for the past few years. I use my improvisational skills in raising my five children ages: new baby, 3, 5, 8, and 10. That last sentence pretty much sums up what I do. Oh, and my biggest dream is to one day sleep through the night.

KacyDo you like to eat food? Ever read blogs? Like cool stuff? Got kids? Me too! My name is Kacy. I’m your friend. I lurk on your blog so I already know all about you. As for me, I have a Master’s Degree in English from BYU where I occasionally teach part-time, four kids from ages 1 to 10, a marriage of 15 years, and a four-year-old blog called Every Day I Write the Book. |

KristyWhen I was 12-years-old I cut my hair really short and got mistaken for a boy the same day. Shortly thereafter my mom agreed to let me pierce my ears and start wearing make-up so we’ve since avoided further incident, leaving only a few emotional scars behind. I share this so that when I tell you there are a few Enrique Iglesias songs that I really like, maybe you will cut me some slack. I love going alone to the movies, I’ve never met a chimichanga that I didn’t like, and I have a love/hate relationship with my gym. I married an accountant whose backup plan is to apprentice for MacGyver and we have made two children together, neither of whom can pick a lock. Though we both grew up in Southern California, we traded the beach for the mountains and have lived in Colorado for 14 years. I love to blog, because sharing my opinion with the world from my couch in my pajamas just happens to work really well for me. So what do you say, wanna be friends? |

EmilyI am trying to believe that I am not too much of an old lady to be doing this. The only thing I really have going for me is that I generally have an opinion about things and am delighted to have a voice for it. I like to give advice. And I like people. I’ve been married for 30 years and have five children (two girls and three boys) and two perfect grandchildren. I have been an editor for Deseret Book Company for even longer than 30 years (well, okay, I was engaged when I got the job), and when I’d been here for 25 years and no one wrote the book I wanted, I wrote it myself. I wrote a couple more later. I love words, chocolate, and sleeping (not necessarily in that order; it depends on the day). And I can’t wait to meet you! Books:
