Author, feminist, sober, growth/acceptancehttps://bsky.app/profile/lisamaybennett.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/lisamaybennett.bsky.social/post/3mvgldumsrs2rI’ve had to work on my patience a lot lately. But good things are happening. Like this flower that is the result of bulbs I replanted a little over three months ago. And my book that I’ll release in about two months. And the milestone I just reached in my knee recovery. Lots of blooming!13 Sep 2026 21:51 +0000at://did:plc:mvbqnfp2ybiqbhd7t7jrbver/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvgldumsrs2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/lisamaybennett.bsky.social/post/3mupvxi5b7s2dThe full description for my upcoming book, Finding Dad, is in the image and the alt text. My main character, Bridget, has trust issues and makes some pretty poor choices. I can’t wait for you to meet her!04 Sep 2026 21:30 +0000at://did:plc:mvbqnfp2ybiqbhd7t7jrbver/app.bsky.feed.post/3mupvxi5b7s2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/lisamaybennett.bsky.social/post/3muki3syha22tI’m proud to share the cover of my upcoming book, Finding Dad. A big thanks to designer Rannia Makrygianni, who perfectly captured the playfulness, melancholy, vulnerability, and hope in the story. Tomorrow I’ll share the description, but for now I’ll let the art speak for itself.02 Sep 2026 17:39 +0000at://did:plc:mvbqnfp2ybiqbhd7t7jrbver/app.bsky.feed.post/3muki3syha22thttps://bsky.app/profile/lisamaybennett.bsky.social/post/3mui6ev7sjc2qI’ve been calling this my “lost summer” because I’ve spent so little time outside while recovering from knee surgery. But I’ve actually made great progress on my upcoming book, so I’m actually thankful (ok, mostly) for this unusual season. Cover reveal coming tomorrow!01 Sep 2026 19:40 +0000at://did:plc:mvbqnfp2ybiqbhd7t7jrbver/app.bsky.feed.post/3mui6ev7sjc2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/lisamaybennett.bsky.social/post/3mudehoqci22yI have at least five book ideas queued up, and the first one is coming soon!30 Aug 2026 21:45 +0000at://did:plc:mvbqnfp2ybiqbhd7t7jrbver/app.bsky.feed.post/3mudehoqci22yhttps://bsky.app/profile/lisamaybennett.bsky.social/post/3lunwj4zcfc2tMy latest post on Substack is about the incredible impact that sobriety has had on me, but it applies to any obstacle that's getting in your way. https://open.substack.com/pub/lisamaybennett/p/a-letter-to-the-woman-on-the-floor?r=9af49&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true23 Jul 2025 21:09 +0000at://did:plc:mvbqnfp2ybiqbhd7t7jrbver/app.bsky.feed.post/3lunwj4zcfc2thttps://bsky.app/profile/lisamaybennett.bsky.social/post/3lrvngdq2kk2yAnyone else getting really worried about our decreasing ability to distinguish reality from AI?

I purchased a special edition of Are You There God? It’s Me, Margret, and she signed it. I was a babbling mess in the moment and giddy the rest of the day. Looking forward to rereading it for the first time in decades.13 Apr 2025 18:49 +0000at://did:plc:mvbqnfp2ybiqbhd7t7jrbver/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmppmhsiac2whttps://bsky.app/profile/lisamaybennett.bsky.social/post/3llfbtjtq3s2aNew post. #neverenough #selfacceptance https://open.substack.com/pub/lisamaybennett/p/to-do-or-not-to-do?r=9af49&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true27 Mar 2025 21:50 +0000at://did:plc:mvbqnfp2ybiqbhd7t7jrbver/app.bsky.feed.post/3llfbtjtq3s2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/lisamaybennett.bsky.social/post/3lkb5kjwfi22xFor writers (or anyone!) who get anxious about speaking/reading in front of people, you are not alone. I did an event last weekend, and I was very nervous. Once I told the group that I have anxiety, I pushed forward and it was so worth it.
