Biografia
Lisa Marie Wilson is a bestselling author, comedian, and cancer survivor. In her debut novel, "Traveling Daisy: A Generational Cancer Story of Disease and Dysfunction," she delves into her life, which began in a trailer park, and asks, "Did my chaotic life cause my cancer?" She is the fifth generation in her family to be diagnosed with cancer. Her great-great-grandmother had breast cancer, her great-grandfather had colon cancer, her grandmother had breast cancer, her mother had melanoma, and she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
Born to an Elvis impersonator and a nurse in Lapeer, Michigan, Lisa Marie Wilson now lives in Los Angeles, California. She creates and produces various entertainment projects for TV and the internet, including comedy web series like VideoBreakups.com and BFFENT.com. As an actress, she has appeared on the TV show Ten Things I Hate About You, as well as in numerous independent films and national commercials.

This is not Lisa Marie's first exploration of her family history to uncover meaningful insights. She produced a documentary about her brother titled "My Careless Brother's Vasectomy," advocating vasectomies for men who neglect their children. In her latest effort to find humor in her dysfunctional family, she candidly shares her genuine experiences navigating life and cancer, always with a smile and hearty laughter. She firmly believes that laughter is a better remedy than Xanax for coping with cancer. Additionally, she has written numerous TV pilots, feature films, and spec scripts.
