Lisa Boero is a practicing attorney who lived for many years in St. Louis, Missouri, but now resides in Marshfield, Wisconsin with her husband and children. Legal experience combined with a strange neurological condition inspired her to write Murderers and Nerdy Girls Work Late, the first book in the Nerdy Girls series. For more information about Lisa and all things Nerdy Girls, please see Lisa’s website at http://www.lisaboero.com.
This interview was done for a local TV station. I discuss my writing, living with face blindness and the inspiration for Murderers and Nerdy Girls Work Late.
Face blind detective Liz Howe returns to deal with a new case involving a meth addicted kidnapper, a flamboyant politician and an unidentified bomber. A Nerdy Girl's work is never done.
Liz has a few problems: a body in the stairwell; embezzlement at her law firm; and the man she wants is engaged to someone else. But Liz’s real problem is much bigger. She can’t recognize faces. Not even her own. Fortunately, this is exactly the thing to make Liz a regular Sherlock Holmes. She notices the details that normal people miss. Murder? Embezzlement? A guy? Elementary for this nerdy girl.
