We’re pleased to welcome Lisa Barr to CLC and celebrate the publication

We’re pleased to welcome Lisa Barr to CLC and celebrate the publication of her latest novel, The Unbreakables! Melissa A loved this novel and will be reviewing soon. All she can say for now is that you’ll need a glass of red wine for some parts. (Lisa recommended this to her and it was warranted!) Lisa is a delightful person, just based on some e-mail exchanges. We hope you will enjoy getting to know her. She has one copy of The Unbreakables for a lucky reader!

Lisa Barr is the award-winning author of THE UNBREAKABLES (Harper) and the historical thriller FUGITIVE COLORS, a suspenseful tale of stolen art, love, lust, deception, and revenge on the eve of World War II. The novel won the Independent Publishers Book Award (IPPY) gold medal for “Best Literary Fiction 2014” and first prize at the Hollywood Film Festival (Opus Magnum Discovery Award). In addition, Lisa has served as an editor for The Jerusalem Post, managing editor of Today’s Chicago Woman, managing editor of Moment magazine, and an editor/reporter for the Chicago Sun-Times.

Among the highlights of her career, Lisa covered the famous handshake between the late Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, the late PLO leader Yasser Arafat, and President Bill Clinton at the White House. Lisa is also the creator and editor of the popular parenting blog, GIRLilla Warfare. She has been featured on Good Morning America, Today, Fox & Friends, and the Australia morning news show Sunrise for her work as an author, journalist, and blogger. She lives in the Chicago area with her husband and three daughters (aka Drama Central).
