Lisa A. McCombs

Lisa McCombs writes middle grade and young adult fiction that celebrates courage, compassion, and the quiet strength found in everyday people. She believes young readers are thoughtful, perceptive, and capable of wrestling with life's biggest questions when they are met with honesty and hope.

Living with multiple sclerosis has given Lisa a unique perspective on invisible challenges and the resilience required to face them. That perspective naturally finds its way into her stories, where characters navigate grief, trauma, disability, family, friendship, and the healing power of kindness. Her novels encourage meaningful conversations while reminding readers that they are never alone.

Whether exploring the aftermath of tragedy, the discovery of unexpected family, or the unlikely friendships that change lives, Lisa writes stories that linger long after the final page—stories that help young readers see themselves, understand others, and believe that hope can bloom in even the most difficult seasons.
