Lisa Tenzin-Dolma: Author, Writer, Screenwriter, Artist, Journalist

Biography

Lisa Tenzin-Dolma was born in Portsmouth, England, but had a nomadic childhood and adolescence in Malta, Scotland, Malaysia and Singapore, and later moved to Ireland before settling in the UK. Growing up as a guest in other countries and cultures was a profoundly formative experience.

Lisa's non-fiction books to date are mainly focussed on the natural world and on ways in which we can foster an increased sense of connection with the inner self and the world around us. Three new books will be coming out over the next year. Lisa also conducts interviews and has written over 500 articles for various magazines. Recently she completed her first novel, The Swan Lake, and has written a feature film screenplay of the same title, based on the novel. A television programme based on The Glastonbury Tarot was made and screened by ITV. Filmed during sub-zero temperatures and freezing fog which created spectacular natural "special effects," the title of the programme, Mystic Eve, seemed very appropriate!

The sense of adventure that has always led her to seek out new experiences has led her into a diverse range of careers before writing became a full-time job. She's earned a living as a singer-songwriter, nurse, aromatherapist, counsellor, astrologer, clothes and jewellery designer, wholefood cook, medical assistant in a haematology laboratory, artist and illustrator, and proof-reader and editor.

Lisa and Jen

Lisa Tenzin-Dolma and Jen Govey first met through mutual friend, Bryant McGill, and hooked up through the internet site MySpace. Jen advised Lisa on a film project she was working on and they soon became firm friends.

In mid 2006, Lisa asked Jen if she could use her natal chart to demonstrate interpretations in her new book Teach Yourself Astrology. Jen was delighted and jumped at the opportunity having had an interest in astrology for many years. The book is due to be released in November 2007 and is available for pre-order on Amazon.

Now in 2007, Jen and Lisa are currently co-writing two feature film screenplays together. A comedy road-trip movie and a Martial Arts action drama. The films are part of a multi picture deal to build a slate for Jen's newly formed film production company Filmtopia.

Jen and Lisa make a dynamic, creative force and have plans to make a real impact in the world of film.
