Beauty Queen Cop Turned Inspirational Speaker Begins Publicity Tour

Chicago August 23, 2007 – Lisa Lockwood, motivational spea4ker, life coach and recent author of her memoir Undercover Angel: From Beauty Queen to SWAT Team…A True Story, is strutting across the nation, leaving inspired readers and critics in her wake. The stunning blonde beauty has been actively promoting her new book, while fielding potential movie and TV pilot deals about the highs and lows experienced during her whirlwind, fairytale life as a welfare child turned beauty pageant contestant, war veteran, undercover SWAT detective and law enforcement officer.

Real-life superhero Lisa Lockwood has long since hung up her tiara and gun belt to inspire others with her bold accomplishments by becoming a writer, inspirational speaker and life coach. Her memoir serves as a reminder to readers that they too can get past a life destined for failure by remaining upbeat and optimistic.

“Undercover Angel focuses on my personal achievements and transformation, as well as showing readers the power of determination and perseverance,” says the former beauty queen.

“This book is a well thought out masterpiece. The truth this brave woman shared with the world is nothing short of amazing. Her heroic effort and successes need to be commended. I believe this book shows us that you can be a beautiful and successful woman at the same time by working towards it ethically,” says one reader, a Drill SGT in the US Military.

Undercover Angel covers the diversity of Lockwood’s toughest experiences as an undercover officer and SWAT member, such as infiltrating drug rings, posing as a prostitute and catching pedophiles. The book also serves as a diary of her personal life - a childhood riddled with welfare dependence and beatings, a bad first marriage to a verbally abusive drunk, her experiences dealing with the competitiveness of beauty pageants, and various relationships leading to Mr. Right who encouraged her to retire from law enforcement and follow her dreams.

The saga of Lockwood’s life lends itself perfectly to screenplays or reality shows, challenging viewers to follow the life coach’s lead and create the best possible lives for themselves.
