Lisa Creech Bledsoe

Watched by crows and friend to salamanders, Lisa Creech Bledsoe is a writer living in the mountains of Western North Carolina. She's a hiker, beekeeper, and wannabe botanist.

She's spent much of her career as a freelance marketer and writer (having also been a boxer, boxing coach, and certified official for USA Boxing, among other things), and has only recently started writing verse and creative non-fiction. Her poetry has been influenced by the German fairy tales she grew up with as well as the remote Appalachian mountains where she lives today.

You can find out more about her adventures with foraging, wildflowers, beekeeping, and her two hiking cats on her website at AppalachianGround.com
