In addition to her studies Lisa works full-time, is a loving wife of 30 years and mother of two, enjoys writing, making memories with family and friends, and is without a doubt an absolute sucker for the forbidden love story.

Poetry and Visual Arts editor, Milo Johnston a senior at Metropolitan State University of Denver, has been a writer and painter for most of his life.
