Lisa Batten KunklemanLisa Batten Kunkleman, from Whiteville, a small North Carolina town, now lives outside the big city of Charlotte. A lifelong journal-keeper, history-lover, and amateur genealogist, Lisa feels compelled to write life stories. As a former guidance counelor and mother of four grown kids, three of which are triplets, and new grandmother of one irresistible little boy, Lisa is convinced that all of us have stories worth sharing. Her non-fiction work, a mix of serious and humorous tales, has been published in a variety of magazines and newspapers, and shared on NPR. Lisa's children were thrilled to see she really was a writer when she won two non-fiction awards through the Charlotte Writers' Club and stood at the podium reading those pieces. She enjoys entertaining, enlightening, and engaging with readers through her blog, Lifestoriesandbeyond.com. With the triplets finishing college and their oldest daughter and son-in-law starting their own family, Lisa and her husband, Dan, are getting reacquainted in their emptied nest. They're catching up on more than three decades of to-do items stored on the back burner and in their barns. They'll live on lake time, with or without a lake, as often as possible, and plan to travel when pet sitters are available for their farm full of dogs, cats, and horses. Lisa's looking forward to continuing to chronicle and share her own Life Stories and Beyond since every day is made up of new stories. Read More Read Less
