On Friday, July 18, 2025, at 19:00 MSK, please join us for an intimate discussion with acclaimed collaborators Lisa Dickey and Lisa Niemi Swayze as they reflect on writing The Time of My Life, the poignant and inspiring memoir by the late Patrick Swayze and Lisa Niemi. The conversation will explore the writing process, the stories behind the book, and the thoughtful collaboration that brought this deeply personal narrative to life.
Lisa Dickey is one of the most accomplished book collaborators working in nonfiction today. She has helped clients write more than twenty nonfiction books, including twelve New York Times best-sellers. She recently hit #1 on the NYT list with The Situation Room, by George Stephanopoulos with Lisa Dickey, and #3 with True Gretch, by Gretchen Whitmer. Lisa is also the author of Bears in the Streets, a memoir of her travels across Russia, which Madeleine Albright called “brilliant, real and readable.”
Lisa Niemi has spent decades in the film industry, and wrote, directed and produced the film One Last Dance. In addition to other projects, she directed her husband, Patrick Swayze, in “My Brother’s Keeper,” one of the episodes from the acclaimed television series The Beast in 2008. In 2012, she wrote her autobiography Worth Fighting For. She currently divides her time between Los Angeles and her ranch in New Mexico.
