Lisa Daily is based in Minneapolis, where she writes about love, relationships and dating. Her popular syndicated column appears on more than 50 dating and women's websites each month, seen and read by millions of people. She married her dream guy after he proposed to her in Paris. They have one son.
In the Keystone Short Stories series, this introduces another new writer with four rather long, sometimes shapeless, stories which have a family-centered focus and deal with the erosion of human relationships. Mrs. Olsen uses an associative, fitful technique- achieves her effects through snatches of conversations, remnants of memory. Hey Sailor, What Ship features the occasional visit ashore of a drunken tar with memories to forget.... hopeless hopes to be murdered ; Oh Yes the inevitable end to a friendship between a Negro and a white girl; Ask Me A Riddle the unyielding death (cancer) of an old woman who wants only the solitude of an empty house as a refuge from the long years of poverty, hard work and 7 children; and in I stand Here Ironing, a mother tries to smooth out some of the pain- and the regret- of the deprivations, during the depression and the war, she imposed on her eldest child.... The stories, while they have a real warmth of feeling, lack the definition which will help them to get past a fairly well established reader reluctance to the genre. (Kirkus Reviews)
