Thanks for visiting. I've found this to be a great place to meet and chat with readers from around the world. I enjoy every email and comment, and though I'm not always fast, I make it a point to answer everyone. And, yes, it really is me.
Lisa Unger is a New York Times, USA Today and international bestselling author of literary thrillers. Her novels have been published in over 26 countries around the world.
She was born in New Haven, Connecticut (1970) but grew up in the Netherlands, England and New Jersey. A graduate of the New School for Social Research, Lisa spent many years living and working in New York City. She then left a career in publicity to pursue her dream of becoming a full-time author. And now lives in Florida with her husband and daughter.
Her writing has been hailed as “masterful” (St. Petersburg Times), “sensational” (Publishers Weekly) and “sophisticated” (New York Daily News) with “gripping narrative and evocative, muscular prose” (Associated Press).

Who I'd like to meet:
I'd like to meet fellow readers, writers, book groups, book sellers and librarians. In other words, people who share my love of books.
I was just wondering... When did you first start writing? And when did you first get published? Like was it easy for you to get published, or was it really difficult? I know it's majorly difficult, but I wanna know from your standpoint :)
I wanted to let you know about a special contest I'm holding. I hope you'll consider entering it and I hope your friends do too.
Ever want to get revenge on a school bully, or an ex-best friend, or a teacher, co-worker or even your husband or boyfriend? Well, now you can kill them off--fictiously, of course in my "Create a Corpse Contest". ;-)
From now until July 30th, 2009, submit a name (first & last) of someone you know--or a fictious name. You can even submit your own name if it fits what I'm looking for. lol
I need a male name, suitable for a 50-ish cigar-smoking man.
For contest details and rules, please visit my "Create a Corpse Contest" page. You must follow these rules exactly.
