Books by Lisa M Billingham
I am an author, inspirational speaker, and workshop facilitator.
*My first children’s book, Sedrick’s Adventures in Hopeland is out now!*
In 2020, I wrote my debut novel, Katie, A New Chapter, a self-help work of fiction based on my life experiences with mental health, abuse, and trauma. I am proud to say the book has helped to save a life.
I found the writing process so cathartic and enjoyable that I continued pursuing my passion and published three further fiction books:
*Tom, The Next Chapter,
*Falling in Love at 40,
*Sedrick's Adventures in Hopeland.
I have also released the audio version of Katie, A New Chapter, narrated by me.
I write from the heart and share my story openly and passionately. I am on a mission to get the nation reading for enjoyment and use my books as the basis for my workshops and talks.
