Lisa Cripps is a Canadian author whose fiction and nonfiction explore emotional immaturity, identity, inheritance, and transformation. She is the author of four books, including the nonfiction title Just Grow the Fck Up: A Field Guide to Emotional Immaturity in the Age of Performance, the story collection What the Land Remembers: Mythic and Supernatural Stories, and the duology Ash Remembers What Fire Forgets and Ashes and Truth.*
Her fiction weaves paranormal romance, dark speculative elements, literary fantasy, and gothic storytelling—often grounded in themes of belonging, grief, cultural tension, and what is carried across generations. Shaped by a multi-faith perspective, her work brings a distinct lens to both narrative and commentary, moving between the psychological and the mythic, the intimate and the inherited.
She writes for readers drawn to emotional depth, mythic resonance, and characters shaped by both fire and fracture—stories that cross thresholds and confront what has been buried, and what must be reclaimed.
Based in Canada, Lisa also works across visual and creative arts, often painting and exploring other forms of expression. She lives with three cats who, by all accounts, believe they are in charge.
