Lisa Klein

Lisa Klein is an American author known for her Shakespearean works including Ophelia and Lady Macbeth's Daughter. She was an assistant professor of English at Ohio State University for eight years but left when she was denied tenure. She turned to writing afterwards, publishing such books as Two Girls of Gettysburg and Cate of the Lost Colony, based on the tale of the Roanoke Colony. She lives in Columbus, Ohio, with her husband and two sons Dave Klein and Adam Reed.

Life Klein grew up in Peoria, Illinois. She states in her presentation to students that she participated, as a child, in the national spelling bee held in Washington, D.C., and brings in a newspaper report covering that competition as proof.

Personal life Dr. Klein declines the use of "Dr." before her name as the honorary title of "Dr.", she says, seems to falsely imply that she is a medical doctor whereas she is actually a holder of a doctorate degree in literature.

Klein currently lives in Clintonville in Columbus, Ohio with her husband and two sons.
