After growing up in sunny California, I moved to the snowy mountains of Utah as a university student and never left! I never got used to the snow, but did fall in love with just about everything else, including my husband. I’ve been married to a famous composer, David Tolk, (he’s just the best human too) for more than half my life and have four amazing kids. A lover of learning, I have a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature and a Master’s degree in Political Science. Professionally, I’m a former political operative turned AP English teacher who loves to infuse history and politics with mysticism and romance, writing smart, clean fiction with a point beyond “swoon-worthy,” but giving a girl the tingles all the same. Other than reading and writing (oh how I love the power of language), I like to travel anywhere, go on scenic bike rides, watch football with my family, and climb easy hikes that end with a great view.
I’m thrilled beyond belief that my debut novel, Eden, was the number one best-seller on Amazon for several weeks in multiple categories, including Young Adult Clean & Wholesome Romance, YA Christian Fantasy, and YA Christian Action & Adventure. I’m currently working on the sequel to Eden, entitled Echoes of Eden, which will be published by the end of the year 2025. Come visit me at lisatolk.com for more details and free stuff!
