Join my Facebook Writer Page Here Follow Me on Twitter Here Lisa's Blog Wow! Goodreads just asked me for my city of birth and date of death... What if I could answer that? Would I live life differently if I knew for sure how much longer I had left? Interesting thought. That's generally how my writer brain works. I've been dreaming up stories since I was in elementary school. My first book was titled "The Wonders of Unicorn Creek" and my publisher was Dehesa elementary school. Since then, I've published numerous short stories in anthologies and magazines. My story, "Immortal Beloved" was a finalist for a Bram Stoker award and was recently re-released in the "Dead Souls" anthology, along with a follow-up never-before-published story, "Subito Piano". My debut novel, Night Walker, was released in 2012 and won a San Diego Book Award for Best Published Fantasy-SciFi-Horror. Night Walker also won the Romance Through the Ages in the Best Paranormal and Best First Book categories. Since then, Night Thief and Night Demon have been released. The final book, Night Child will be released in March of 2014. In the meantime,I have a new series beginning in July 2013 with Moonlight, Book 1 in the Moon Series. I also post news and short stories on my Blog, so feel free to stop by for a read. http://Lisa-Kessler.com Paranormal tales are my favorite and I tend toward the dark side. Join me? :)
