Flower of Fire

Lisa Ann Gallagher was born in Detroit, Michigan on December 7, 1967. She grew up in the suburbs of Detroit and became a part of the thriving mid-80s Detroit alternative music scene during her teens - as the lead singer of an all-girl band and editor of a punk fanzine, then later as a supporter and friend to many other bands. Lisa Ann left Detroit in 1991 and spent the next 14 years exploring a variety of jobs (including as a product trainer for Cadillac), traveling the world and writing. She settled down in 2005 in the Black Hills of South Dakota, where she lives today. Her first novel, ＂Flower of Fire＂, a thriller about a modern-day Typhoid Mary, was published in October 2010. A collection of 18 poems, ＂Incantations＂ followed in 2011. Her newest book, a memoir of her early adulthood in Detroit, was published in the summer of 2013 and is available in both paperback and e-book on Kindle. She is at work currently on her fourth book - a novel about Detroit, organized crime and sisters.
