A member of the Sudbury Writers’ Guild since 2012, and the Playwrights Guild of Canada since 2014, Garson resident Lisa Coleman-Brown writes plays and short stories. Her plays are available through the PGC’s Canada Play Outlet. “2 Guys on a Wall” was also published in Laurentian University’s literary journal Sulphur IV (Winter 2014).

Lisa’s short stories, and those co-written with fellow Sudbury Writers’ Guild members Vera Constantineau, and Mat Del Papa, have been published in Sulphur VIII (2019) and Sulphur IX (2020), and in the anthologies: “Sudbury Ink” published by the Sudbury Writers’ Guild (2016); and in “madcap” Publishing’s: “Creepy Capreol” (2014), “Creepy Capreol Jr.” (2016), “Creepy Capreol Jr.: Too Many Zombies” (2019), “Merry Capreol” (2022). Lisa also contributed limericks to the poetry anthology “Zombie Digest” published by “madcap” Publishing (2018).

The two short stories adapted in the graphic novel The Fartologist: “The Fartologist”, and “The Fartologist’s Noxious Nazi Nightmare” were created in 2016 for Creepy Capreol Jr., and 2019 for Creepy Capreol Jr: Too Many Zombies.

​

The whole idea for The Fartologist was inspired by friend, fellow writer, and editor Mat Del Papa’s invitation for Lisa to write a story for his “madcap” Publishing anthology Creepy Capreol Jr.: Frightening Fiction for and from Young Minds. Lisa imagined an eleven-year-old boy in a time-out in the bathtub gassing a bare-naked action figure toy with his fart bubble. It seemed logical that such a mischievous boy
would be obsessed with everything fart related from a Science, Technology, Engineering and Math perspective. Armed with a Big Bag O’ Farts this ‘tween would victoriously face many horror threats.
