Lisa's Upcoming E-Book:

Mystic Pizza and Beyond: Walking the Seafarer's Trail

Forced to relocate to the small, maritime village of Mystic, Connecticut, by one of life's unexpected events, an out-of-shape writer Lisa Saunders must leave behind her family and “real” job to begin a new life in what National Geographic calls one of America's "Best Adventure Towns."

Settling in only blocks from Mystic Pizza, the restaurant that inspired the movie, “Mystic Pizza,” Lisa sets out daily with her beagle/basset hound to start a life and shake off her old, landlubbing ways. Her first goal? To find a National Geographic adventure that will help her get thin and famous--enough to afford a housekeeper.

Her second goal? To find a friend with a sailboat! When she meets a blind sailor who shanghais her to serve as crew for a long voyage, Lisa believes she has finally found the adventure she needs to write the next best seller: “Plump Writer and Blind Sailor Defy Foul Weather, Scurvy, and Temptation to Eat Useless Crew.”

But will this journey become the epic voyage she needs to achieve fame and fortune—enough to afford a housekeeper?

Excerpts can be read on Lisa's blog, Mystic Pizza and Beyond: A Seafarer's Trail
