Paper Cuts On My Soul

  — the web home of Lisa Lees

Welcome!

I write essays & books; draw comics, take theater photos and teach theater makeup, design and care for many web sites, listen to J-pop, am a manga and anime fan, know French, am studying Japanese and learning a little Korean. I'm 56 years young. (Top left is my Phreeky Dragon. On the right is a self-portrait with my bass guitar. ;)

My books are available from Amazon.com and other sellers, but buying directly from my Lulu.com store puts more money in the creators' pockets! The books are also available on Lulu as PDF downloads (the second price shown).

Cover art for the novels is by Jade Gordon, creator of the Lean on Me web comic. The other art here is by me. You'll find an announcement and a longer blurb about Fool for Love on the ISNA website.

My new web comic is based on my life, as seen through the eyes of the only person who knew I was a girl back then (me):

A Queer Turn of Events, the third Queer Circle story, was a strange four-episode web comic:

What am I doing?

Drawing Out of phase tomboy, writing occasional essays for my online memoir and visual culture pages, studying Japanese, playing guitar, doing stuff for All-of-us Express Children's Theatre and trying to figure out how to retire from the day job as soon as possible.
