Lisa Shea Lisa Shea, Publisher

Lisa Shea feels that beauty can be discovered in any corner of nature - from the glistening autumn leaf on a mossy rock to the spiral swirls of a shell nestled into a sandy beach. She is drawn to serene organic images, enjoying both photography and haiku as her primary means of discovery. Her short stories examine the hopes, dreams, and growth that we each go through in life. In addition to owning BellaOnline Lisa writes for the Low Carb and Video Gaming topic areas here. Lisa has published 67 non-fiction books on a variety of topics. On the fiction side, she has published twelve medieval romance novels, two modern murder mysteries, and six novellas--all benefit battered women´s shelters. Lisa is thrilled that over the years the BellaOnline Mused Literary Magazine has helped nearly one thousand artists reach a world-wide audience and find recognition for their talents.

Tina Sansone Tina Sansone

Leif Sutter Leif Sutter

Leif is the role-playing games editor for BellaOnline. He´s also a husband, student and aspiring entrepreneur--in that order. The Sutter family includes a two-year-old Bichon Frisé. Leif is presently learning the finer points of animal separation anxiety every time his wife Julie leaves the house without their (her!) pup. Currently he is working on a two-year business management degree, after which his sights are set on a four-year accounting degree. Due to transferring schools with incompatible credits, Leif has completed four English composition courses and feels it would be a shame to let such experience waste away. Therefore, Leif is on the non-fiction team for Mused and has enjoyed every work therein. He fancies himself a harsh critic where writing is concerned but he takes care to read any given work through at least once, without minding errors, in order to experience it on its own merit. While far from a perfect writer himself, he´s set on helping others achieve that title.
