To Lissa Michaels, writing was one of those dreams meant for 'other' people, one she never thought would come true, until the birth of her second child and her husband's odd schedule necessitated that she stay at home with the children. Never one to let time to go waste, Lissa was suddenly faced with the question of 'What to do?' Why not write? Seeing her dream realized is something she thanks god for every day.

Lissa has many likes and hobbies, but her passion is romances with a liberal dose of 'something different.' That passion let to avid reading of Futuristic and Fantasy romances, and then writing them. It seems only natural that CAPTIVE HEARTS has been published in a futuristic way--electronically. She lives in the suburbs of Chicago with her police officer husband, two beautiful daughters, a Pekinese, a cat, and an assortment of tropical fish.
