“If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.”

~ Tony Morrison

ABOUT

Welcome

~to the literary tapestry woven by Lisa Bates, a New England native whose pen breathes life into the pages of both children’s and adult fiction.

From the earliest whispers of her imagination as a young girl, Lisa’s rich Latina American heritage has been the heartbeat of her storytelling. Her tales are a celebration of cultures, an exploration of the bittersweet symphony of belonging to two worlds, and a testament to the universal language of the human experience.

As an accomplished artist, Lisa’s creative spirit transcends the written word, infusing her narratives with vivid imagery that captivates and resonates.

Her current role as a interpreter within non-profit organizations, court, and school systems has gifted her a mosaic of real-life stories—each one a thread in the vibrant quilt of her writing.

Lisa’s mastery lies in her ability to craft stories that are as enchanting as they are enigmatic. Whether it’s the heartwarming journey of an immigrant family finding their footing in unfamiliar lands or the suspenseful unraveling of a mystery along the misty New England coast, her work promises to transport readers to worlds where wonder and intrigue abound.

Step into Lisa Bates’ realm of storytelling where every story is a doorway to another world, and every character’s journey is a mirror to our own. With many more tales on the horizon, we invite you to linger, explore, and be part of the adventure. Welcome to her site—your next story awaits.

“Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.”

- Robert Frost
