Lots of people do. Enough to make her a number one bestseller on April 2nd with 1,200,000-plus copies in print…

Lisa will be on the Sunday, April 23rd show discussing SHIVER with our pod-host Wali Muhammad.  SHIVER is Lisa Jackson's first original hard back novel. The story centers on Detective Reuben Montoya of the New Orleans Police Department who first appeared in HOT BLOODED and then in subsequent novels, COLD BLOODED and THE NIGHT BEFORE. Lisa's fans have been clamoring for his story and finally, with Abby Chastain, Lisa found a heroine who could go toe to toe with Montoya.

Lisa Jackson’s talent for exploring the dark side of life has placed her among those elite authors who repeatedly top national bestsellers lists.  In her new novel, she takes readers to New Orleans and into the midst of a killing spree unmatched in recent memory. In it, the city has become a madman’s stage.  A murderer is claiming two victims at a time and  arranging them in gruesome scenarios.  Each new tableau is more terrifying than the last.  The only leads Detective Reuben Montoyo, has to stop the killer are a once grand, now decaying, asylum and a widow haunted by painful secrets.

About the Author:

Lisa Jackson can’t keep away from murderers, especially serial killers.  She’s been helping to kill people everywhere from Savannah and New Orleans to San Francisco and the Pacific Northwest—and now it’s really paid off as her novel FATAL BURN was named the number one New York Times paperback bestseller for the week of April 2, 2006.

Having made serial killing her business—sort of—she has put her characters through the wringer. They find themselves up to their necks in danger, staring death right in the face.  Her obsessive curiosity has proven contagious and her audience keeps growing from book to book, as her novels gain ever greater recognition at the top of bestseller lists nationally.

In a nutshell, who is Lisa Jackson?  Before she became a nationally best-selling author, she was a woman struggling to keep food on the table by writing romance novels, hoping against hope that someone would pay her for them. Today, neck deep in murder, her books appear on The New York Times, the USA Today, and the Publishers Weekly national bestseller lists. As those who know her can attest, this funny, smart woman enjoys making the hair stand up on the back of her readers’ necks.  Lisa is a mom, a daughter, a workaholic and most of all an amazing writer.
