Lisa Wixon
Lisa Wixon is the author of the award-winning novel DIRTY BLONDE AND HALF-CUBAN (HarperCollins/Rayo) and its Spanish-language translation CASI RUBIA EN LAS ISLA DEL DESEO.
Her opinions and essays have appeared in The Washington Post, Forbes, USA Today and elsewhere. An avid adventurer, she's traveled to more than 100 countries for work and pleasure. She lived for nearly a year in Fidel Castro's Cuba. And she sailed the Caribbean on a 92" foot double-masted yacht (one that leaned to port about 20 degrees, a mysterious ailment no shipyard could repair).
Lisa lives in New York City and is at work on a geopolitical conspiracy thriller set for release in 2021.
“My landlord is blase' about the crisis and hands me a newspaper. It isn't for reading. This evening, I decide, I'm not going to be Cuban. I grab my passport from the closet and make for the nearest hotel bathroom.”
