Local Author, Lisa Lehmann, will be here to sign copies of her new book: Radio Starr!

A starry-eyed Midwestern DJ spins on-air personas that unravel her identity and moral fabric in the male-dominated world of 1980s radio.

All Eva LaVette wants is a great career and a perfect marriage. Can she have both?
​A '70s girl in an '80s world, Eva finds her life upended on a frigid Wisconsin night when she discovers a passion for radio. It’s a feeling that ignites her soul, but conflicts with her husband’s traditional values. Fearless and a bit naive, Eva adopts on-air facades that both mask and reveal her deepest desires. As she navigates the trials of format changes, overnight shifts, sexist vibes, and the fear of being fired, she grapples with the consequences of her choices. Radio plays both a true love and a bad boyfriend; Eva is seduced time and again.

RADIO STARR is a captivating tale of identity, ambition and self-discovery framed by the music of the times just as radio is making a transformative shift from analogue to digital. For fans of Daisy Jones & The Six, The People We Keep, The Griffin Sisters Greatest Hits, Firefly Lane, and WKRP in Cincinnati, this novel is a backstage pass to the power of tuning in to one’s own frequency.

Lisa Lehmann is a former radio announcer and musician who now channels her creative energy into writing and photography. She studied literary writing at UW-Madison. Her first book, LAKE MICHIGAN: The Wisconsin Shore, showcases her nature photography and was a National Indy Excellence Award Finalist. Before hanging up her headphones, she worked on the air at ten radio stations, doing everything from reporting the news to copywriting, audience research, and stints as a morning show sidekick. She would give anything to relive her days in small-town radio.

Lisa lives in beautiful Wisconsin with her husband, two tiny dogs and a giant cat. She spends her time reading, cooking, native plant gardening and enjoying the outdoors. RADIO STARR is her first novel.
