Fool for Love, back Fool for Love, cover

Jami has lead a sheltered life; she's home-schooled, shy, smart and pretty. Carys helped start the GSA in her high school, is a clown and a theater geek, doesn't get along with her parents and doesn't quite know what she is. They meet at a spring break arts camp and fall in love. Figuring out what that means, for one girl who has never willingly worn a dress and another who is intersexed, is a bit of a problem. Being a teenager in love is never easy; for Carys and Jami falling in love with each other is a terrifying journey in self-discovery and trust.

Fragments of Gender, author photo Fragments of Gender, cover

One of the great myths of our culture is that at birth each infant can be identified as 'male' or 'female' (reproductive physiology), will grow up to have correspondingly 'masculine' or 'feminine' behavior (gender), live as a 'man' or a 'woman' (social role), and marry a woman or a man (heterosexual affective orientation). This is not so. There is much disagreement as to why this is not so, but a significant number of people in fact do not fit this simple idea of biologically predetermined gender/role destiny.

Fragments of Gender, 216 pages, 2005. $13.95 / $2.50 PDF download from Lulu.com; $13.95 elsewhere, ISBN 1-4116-3711-9. Essays, short fiction and a few poems from the first ten years after gender transition.

A Queer Turn of Events, promo Out of phase tomboy

Additional works:

A sequel of sorts to A Queer Circle of Friends, titled A Queer Turn of Events, took place as a rather quirky web serialization / comic on its own website: WizzyWig.net

Lisa's current web comic is Out of phase tomboy, a somewhat radical reinterpretation of the text of her life, or perhaps a fictional autobiography, if you prefer.
