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. I also help Joe T. Darden edit his books as a side job.

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 with Beyond Words 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?”
