full-
Lisa Hare was born and raised in the Sandhills of western Nebraska, where wide-open skies, rugged landscapes, and a lifelong love of horses helped shape the stories she tells today.

The New Wild West of her writing is a frontier defined by a fierce and reverent connection to an untamed land. It is here, amid the sweeping views and raw elements, that Lisa’s stories take shape, creating immersive experiences that transport readers to open spaces and the quiet terrain of the human heart.
As author, witness and guide, Lisa maps the rugged landscapes of grief, resilience, and hard-won redemption.

With a professional background in journalism, she has also worked as a riding instructor in Southern California and as an equine specialist in Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy—experiences that gave her a deep appreciation for both the healing power of horses and the resilience of the human heart.

That love of the equine world runs through her novels, which channel feminine strength into emotional honesty, weaving themes of resilience, grief, and liberation into transformational journeys through ruggedly beautiful landscapes. Burning with reverence and rebellion, her stories stand as a testament to courage, redemption and womanhood in a New Wild West.
