McConaughey, Lisa: - After 40 years of writing and gifting short stories to family and friends, the author was persuaded to release her work to a wider audience through Amazon's KDP platform, Her first offering "Mildred & Me" was enthusiastically received. Readers described it as "quirky" and "fun to read". The current book "STUPID COVID" came about as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The author watched her four year old grandson and his friends as their childhoods were transformed by the lockdown and the limitations that ensued. STUPID COVID gives words to the feelings of the youngest members of our society, and though it describes some uncomfortable emotions, it winds up by showing kids how they can have some positive control over their own health, allowing them to enter "a brand new day."
