Lisa Hatton and her husband Bryon have opened their home and hosted most meetings of The Ram’s Head Writers’ Group since the summer of 2003.

In the early 1980s Lisa started writing poetry which was published in The Aldergrove Star and read on the radio by Roy Jacques at CKWX. She was a member of Poets’ Potpourri in Abbotsford and had poetry included in their chapbook. At their yearly Special Event, she learned to enjoy reading in public.

Switching to prose, Lisa tried her hand at writing a weekly column in The Aldergrove Star and also wrote several personal articles published in The Province newspaper in Vancouver.

Since moving to Langley in 1994, she has turned her hand to fiction and creative non-fiction. Her non-fiction has twice placed 2nd in The Wired Monk writing contest. In the same contest, one of her poems also placed 2nd in the poetry category.

Lisa produces The Ram’s Head Review which is a synopsis of mermbers’ works presented at the last meeting and any relevant news or announcements. It is emailed to all members and any other interested parties and will now also appear on this website.

Lisa has written a novel loosely based on arson attempts she dealt with as assistant property manager of a very large townhouse complex. But she also enjoys writing short articles or stories that give her a more immediate sense of accomplishment when they are finished sooner.

And when she’s not writing or working as a self-employed bookkeeper, she spends time trying to stay in touch with her son and daughter, both now living out of province. Being part of a writers’ group has helped fill the void of an empty nest.
