opposite paths.

For older readers, I've written the WAKE trilogy, about a
seventeen-year-old girl named Janie who gets sucked into other people's
dreams. I have two stand-alone young adult thrillers, CRYER'S CROSS and DEAD
TO YOU.
Also, GASP, the final book in the VISIONS series, is now available. It follows CRASH (Book 1) and BANG (Book 2) , and is about a teen girl who sees visions of catastrophic events that are about to happen, and has to figure out how to stop them. Fans of WAKE will enjoy this trilogy!
I grew up in Michigan and now I live in Arizona with my husband, known as Mr. Lisa on social media (aka Matt, a musician) , and two cats. We have two adult children: an artist and an actor.
