The online home for Lisa McSherry, author and priestess
Each year at my birthday I review the previous year, celebrate my accomplishments, and set goals for the coming year. (Here’s my post from last year.) Sometimes I adjust those goals a bit at the witches’ new year (Samhain). Over the years I’ve learned to set fewer and smaller goals to allow for new opportunities […]
I’m so happy to be able to tell you that Travel Magic has a release date of August 2nd.
Y’all have been so patient, and here’s the reward: my latest book just got a publisher! Pagan.World Project describes themselves as a hub for the Pagan Community to connect, communicate and share resources through networking and social broadcasting.

That’s me in the green two-piece, and this picture sums up an ongoing cycle in my life. In this cycle, I choose to do something beyond my current capabilities, and get a lot of negativity. In response, I dig in and basically just say eff off and do it anyway. It all works out somehow […]

I’m super excited about a few things that will be coming to this site and to me as an author in the social media milieu.
(That may be the longest title I’ve ever written for a blog post.) If you want to place your book with traditional publishers you do not just send them your manuscript. While there is a tiny possibility they will accept it directly, it is nearly impossible. Sending it directly subjects you to a high likelihood […]
Tonight, in just a few hours, I record the last podcast in the publicity push for A Witch’s Guide to Crafting A Practice. That will be the last of eleven podcasts total (whew!), all of which were a lot of fun. Last night I finished the second of my two participations in the Changing Times, […]
