The University of Arizona Press

Lisa Schnebly Heidinger inherited her father’s “red-setter gene,” gladly jumping into any open car door regardless of destination in Arizona. Television, newspaper, and magazine reporting from all areas of the state, she’s authored twelve books on aspects of Arizona, including the official Centennial book, which was voted OneBookAZ. This led to speaking in libraries from Concho to Humboldt as well as the Tucson Festival of Books. She loves visiting Arizona’s iconic lodges and inns and says she’s never had a bad cup of coffee, although a pot brewed at Two Gray Hills Trading Post in the morning and consumed in the afternoon came closest.
