Lisa Lanser Rose
I’m a dog trainer, an award-winning essayist and fiction writer, and the author of the memoir, For the Love of a Dog, (Harmony Books), and the psychological thriller, Body Sharers, (Rutgers University Press). My new trick dog mystery series is represented by Lori Colvin at Birch Literary.
I’ve also compiled enough essays for a collection, The Naked Australian and Other First Dates: Essays on Mating Without Getting Murdered. You’ll find writing updates here.
My complete CV is on LinkedIn.
The Rose Dogs

- Roo–the one with wonky ears.
- Mick–the tri-color with a cross on his forehead.
- Maisie–sweet elegance personified
Over the course of my career, I’ve taught writing and literature, written copy for an advertising firm, directed two college writing centers (Muhlenberg College and Eckerd College), taught English for nine years International Baccalaureate Program, co-directed the Other Words writers conference, founded the women writers’ blog co-op The Gloria Sirens, and hosted the podcast This Animal Life, where I got to interview the authors of books about intelligent creatures.
I discovered that, next to dogs, writers are my favorite animals.
