Author's Bio

As a writer and editor for a women's magazine, Lisa K. Buchanan dispensed health advice while ingesting pizza dinners at her desk and caffeine-soaked sugar on the commute. The contradiction launched a long-term fascination with words included and words omitted; she now specializes in compressed prose forms.
