Goodreads asked Laurie Lisa:

What are you currently working on?

Laurie Lisa My eighth work is a bit of a change-up for me. The work is entitled "The Queen of Hearts" and is based in a small rural town where a woman wins a substantial sum of money from a "Queen of Hearts raffle" run at the local American Legion Hall. The idea to write the novel came to me after reading an article about a real-life winner of the Queen of Hearts American Legion Lottery in Steeleville, Illinois. Having been born and raised in Southern Illinois, and having spent some evenings at the local Legion hall, the article inspired me to write connected novellas that allow me to create several fully developed and interesting fictional characters. As I said, it is a bit of a changeup for me.
