Author. Knitter. Amnesiac.
A few years ago, my gallbladder ruptured, cutting off oxygen to my brain. After emergency surgery, when I woke, I couldn’t remember who I was. Where I was. Where I’d been. I’d forgotten 99% of my entire existence.
Armed with an MFA in Creative Arts, I’ve chosen creativity as my weapon of choice. This site is where I share my world of mixed media creative endeavors. In a previous life, I published three romance novels under my alter ego, Lilli Feisty. Now I’m writing my memoir, And She Was.
Some Things Feisty Didn’t Forget
She has an undergraduate degree in Creative Arts and a Master of Arts in Museum Studies.
She owned an art gallery in Genoa, NV.
She has ADHD.
She’s written and published three romance novels, under the pen name Lilli Feisty.
She’s a real genetic mutant. She’s a carrier of hemochromatosis, a genetic disorder that causes the body to absorb and store too much iron. She manages her iron-shenanigans by going for routine bloodletting. (She secretly hopes that, one day, her phlebotomist will be Spike.)
She can, very poorly, play the flute and the ukulele.
She accumulated many hours building large-scale art projects at Burning Man.
She grew up in Humboldt County, California.
She’s visited Ireland, England, France, Spain, Portugal, Scotland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Mexico, and... and...Texas.
When her gallbladder ruptured, she was standing in her kitchen, staring at the remnants of mostly gorged strawberry cheesecake.
She knits. A lot.
She sometimes, unconsciously, writes about herself in the third person. She’s not sure why.
