Curious about this Lisa Eldred person?

Hi, I’m Lisa Eldred, a post-quarterlife, pre-midlife professional living in the general Lansing, MI area.

Right now I mostly work at Covenant Eyes, where I do a lot of writing and editing, especially for the website. Occasionally I help Joe T. Darden edit his books. I’m also in the process of starting up an ebook rental company called EverReading.

If you want to find me, start with Twitter and Facebook (and now Google+, because I am a new media junkie). You can also look on LinkedIn, if that’s your thing. Oh, and check out this interview I did a while ago, too.

Curious about my domain name?

A few years ago, while eating lunch at a local sushi resteraunt, a colleague dared me to eat a sizable chunk of wasabi (which, by the way, I love). “I’ll give you street cred,” he said. “We’ll call you… Wasabi Jane!”

It was when he upped the ante to registering wasabijane.com for me that I actually started considering it. I’ve been doing web work for a couple of years now; I used to write book reviews for my friend Dagny’s now defunct godsoframen.com, and for a while I’d been considering actually getting my own domain. WasabiJane was, by no means, my first choice, but it had a certain flair. I popped about a teaspoonful of wasabi in my mouth and didn’t even flinch.

“So,” I said, turning to my coworker, “where’s my website?”
