NOW IN PAPERBACK!

Lisa Alber's "Paddy O'Grady's Thigh"...is a superb piece of storytelling. (Richmond Times-Dispatch)



One of my short stories appeared in New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth George's anthology, TWO OF THE DEADLIEST, New Tales of Lust, Greed, and Murder from Outstanding Women of Mystery. You'll find a slew of well-known novelists, plus a few newbies like me.

I met Elizabeth George at a writers' retreat. In this photo, she's giving me craft tips about how to improve a rancorous father-daughter scene. I learned so much from her that I went on to work with her in two subsequent workshops. I was thrilled when she invited me to write a story for her anthology.
