Lisa Schnebly Heidinger
Lisa Schnebly Heidinger has spent her career telling stories.​ She began as a cub reporter for the Green Valley News, moving into radio, then television, in Tucson. She began writing magazine features during those years. In 1989 she moved to Flagstaff, fulfilling the double dream of working in a Top 20 market and living in Northern Arizona, as KTVK-TV3’s Bureau reporter. Once married to their satellite operator, Lisa saw that having a family and being held over for a 10 p.m. live in Holbrook would be tough. So she resigned and moved to Phoenix, where she wrote an op-ed column for the Sunday Republic called Arizona Correspondent. She wrote her first book in 1995. Since then she’s written eleven books about aspects of Arizona, including the official Centennial book, which won OneBookAZ and resulted in a year of touring libraries around the state. Two more books are in the publication pipeline. Lisa loves road trips around the state, and the feeling of being a big help to a grownup. She swears no cup of coffee is undrinkable – although an early morning pot poured mid-afternoon at Grey Hills Trading Post came closest.
