She and Lisa are first cousins and like to write together, feeding off each others' puns and wordplay.

It's quite similar to a mechanical project for her. Sentences can be tweaked and improved, just like engines.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBaker, Lisa:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - This is Lisa Baker's fifth published book.
