I just finished reading Black Out! I usually do not write reviews but I had to write one for this book. I truly love this book and I am amazed by your ability to capture and keep your readers attention! I will be recommending this book and reading every book you write. My only regret is that I did not read it sooner! One of my favorite books!

Lisa, I just finished Sliver of Truth and I really enjoyed it. I look forward to reading more of your work.

Have a great day!

Hi!
I recently read your book Black Out! Loved it! That was my second book by you, had also read Sliver of Truth, they were both excellent books. I will be looking for more of your books. Take Care!!

I am so sorry! I haven't been on here in months and I've apparently missed a slew of friend requests. I loved your first book and it looks like you've written more. :) I'll have to read them ASAP!

Librarything has become one of my top sites.

I am so happy that I had found this site and then I found out that author's were also on here. How exciting is that? I looked up your name right away.

I had just finished [Beautiful Lies] and wanted so much to share it with someone.

Once in a while you get your hands on a book that you just have to share. Only trouble was I didn't own the book. Because I found Librarything I am able to share my book with so many.

If I could I would like to tell the world that this is "the book to read".

I am looking forward to my friend buying another one of your books and sharing it with me

Just yesterday I told her about Librabything. Wait until I tell her I am on your friends list. She will be so wonderfully jealous. Tee Hee.

Thanks again for adding me and very happy to have such a talented friend on my list.

Lisa: I just finished your book called [[Beautiful Lies]]. I have to be honest with you and tell you that I never heard of you before. One of my oldest friends lent me this book and wow. I don't know what else to saw. WOW. What a book. I was half way through it and thought this book should be over and done with. How can there be half a book left? It was amazing. I need to stock up on your books. I will have to tell my friend to buy more. LOL I will also have to mention you are here. and to join Library Thing also. I will get big brownie points for this one.

If your books are anything like [[Beautiful Lies]] you can bet that I will end up your number 1 fan.

Keep creating.

I loved your both of your books and just went to the website for Black Out, can't wait to read it! I just discovered Library Thing this year, it was recommended by a friend, we both work at the public library together. We decided to start our Library thing accounts by tracking the books we read in 2008. I pass on recommendations all the time to patrons at work and readily suggest your books, can't wait to share the info on your newest one. Was very happy to see that you are a member.

Hello Lisa. It is such an honor to post to you. I have Sliver of Truth and Beautiful Lies. I am currently undergoing Chemotherapy and quite often read different magazines. However, one day I picked up one of your books off my bookshelf. I have been reading Beautiful Lies during treatment and it is an incredible piece of work. I cannot put it down. The nurse's are wanting to borrow them when I am finished. Will be happy to share. I can not wait to purchase Blackout. Will have to order, I'm sure, since it is difficult to get out. Thank goodness for Amazon! LOL Take care and look forward to more wonderful work.

Kindly,
Christina

Hi Lisa,

I get on Library Thing sporadically so I missed your invitation back in November. It's amazing how many of the books on your list I've read or intend to read. Some I haven't entered into LT yet because I haven't made it back to the high school years but I love many of the classics on your list. Just read Pontoon (a little slapstick but good fun) and Playing for Pizza (ehh, but I think I'll buy it for my high school library - the boys will like it). Your books are very well reviewed and sound like good possibilities for me. I'll keep them in mind.

Dear Lisa,
Thank you for the friend invite, sorry it took me so long to respond! I am new to the social aspect of the Library Thing!! I don't know how to go about requesting you as a friend so if you would like to re-request me I would love to accept. Thanks!!

Hi Lisa. It seems you sent me an invitation to be your friend way back in November. I have to apologise for not accepting that invite. I am still fairly new in using Library Thing and didnt notice the message flagged up until today. How silly is that? I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and may I wish you a very Happy New Year.

I am always interested in anything you write so after looking at your main page I saw that there are some great things you have written recently. As soon as you have a new book out I will definitely be in line for it. Will there ever be another "Ridley" book? I truly enjoyed your first two books starring Ridley but would gladly read anything you write. Keep up the great work!

posted by wordwanderer at 6:19 pm (EST) on Dec 3, 2007

HI Lisa

I just finished Beautiful Lies and had a wonderful time reading it.
Looking forward to reading Sliver of Truth. Is this a Ridley Jones novel as well? Hoping so, because I do enjoy the book "series" where an author continues on ...... like Cornwell and her Scarpetta (which the newest is also sitting on the same stack Beautiful Lies was on)

I'm glad I put Fowles aside for a few days!

posted by jade_kadir at 4:43 am (EST) on Nov 27, 2007

Hey Lisa

I picked up Beautiful Lies - sitting on the stack to be read next....trying to behave and not delve into it until I finish the current book I am reading which is a biggie....currently reading The Magus by John Fowles, which I started the day I picked up your book. The holidays, decorating for Christmas in the house, dealing with family, spending quality time with kids over Thanksgiving has slowed my reading down a bit.
I am trying to read more classics intertwined with modern fiction. So far so good, I think. I am using 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die as a basis.
The Magus is beautifully written, and even though it is nearly 700 pages, I think I should get through it hopefully in a week....sometimes I feel like taking a sick day from work here and there just to catch up on reading.
The back of your book is quite compelling...it is now sitting in my lap looking at me (how did it get there??? hmmmm) - It wants me to read it NOW! What the heck...it's going upstairs with me tonight! I'll report back to you when I have finished it! Fowles may have to wait!

posted by Kenkwa at 8:51 pm (EST) on Nov 26, 2007

Sure will Lisa. Thanks for asking.

Hello, Lisa! Thanks for the invitation to be friends. I just joined LibraryThing last month and it's a pleasure to meet you and other passionate readers. I see that we share some of my favorite books, including two by Patricia Highsmith, whose work seems excruciatingly suspenseful to me (I'm sometimes actually afraid to turn the page). I'm going to browse your library further and look for some new ideas. The only thing that helps me get over the melancholy I feel when finishing a great book is the knowledge that there's another great one out there just waiting to be discovered! I see that a number of LT members have enjoyed your Beautiful Lies and Sliver of Truth, so I plan to check those out as well.

posted by Imprinted at 9:27 pm (EST) on Nov 19, 2007

Hi Lisa!

I'm very pleased you asked me to be a virtual friend. I looked at your web page (which is great!) and I've added your books to my wishlist. Ths site is a wondrfully addictive vice, but the best part is definitely the opportunity to make connections with so many folk of disparate backgrounds and talents who share a love of books and reading. I'm a pretty omnivorous reader and a very scattered amateur writer, but I always enjoy a good mystery!

Cheers!

You are so very welcome. Thank you for the invite.
I have already read your "Beautiful Lies" and quite enjoyed it.
Am looking forward to more from you.
I truly LOVE "LibraryThing". Don't you? It's good that I was already retired when I came across it. No time for the working when you're "librarying" you know. I spend half my day on here and the other half reading. My daughter is so insulted because I used to watch her boys a lot when I was working and now, being retired, she thought I would have them all the more. Sorry--not happening.
Anyway thanx again for inviting me to be one of your librarything friends.
Enjoy your day and I hope you are reading something as wonderful as "The Last of the Mohicans" which I am still into.

Sorry for my tardy reply -- I am a bad friend so far! Imagine my surprise when I realized a real live author wanted to be my 'friend' I just added Beautiful Lies on to my (very long) wish list! Our shared books are some of my favorite esp One Hundred Years of Solitude and Gone with the Wind. I do like thrillers as well -- I like them literary and spooky like Rebecca and Dracula which I have just read for the first time. And I think Salem's Lot is the scariest book I have ever read. I will look forward to reading your novel(s)!

Hi Lisa

Thanks for the invitation! Like many in the group, I look forward to reading your books. I am very familiar with your name, because as my wife accuses me, I am in a bookstore nearly everyday (well....mainly because they have coffee too!!!!) I am an avid reader and trying desperately to reach the 100 mark of books read this year, but I think I might be shy of around 20. With a full time job, and family to come home to, its kind of tough to get as much read. I look forward to the quiet hours after everyone has gone to bed and read until midnight. Thanks again for the invitation.

I work for Davis Kidd Booksellers. It's part of Joseph-Beth Booksellers, if you're familiar with those. We're independent, but there are several stores. Two Davis-Kidds in TN and five Joseph Beths spread out here and there. I worked in the Nashville store for several years, but I recently moved to Memphis and am working there now. If you're ever in the Tennessee area, I'm sure we'd love to have you for a signing! Seriously, if you're ever planning on passing through Memphis, give us a call or shoot me a message here and I can put you in touch with the proper person. :)

I'm looking forward to reading both your books! I'll definitely keep them in mind when a customer asks for recommendations! :)

I can't get to your book immediately on arrival because I have several now that I HAVE to review as they sent me free copies to review. But I will get to it eventually. It sounds as if you write books similar to Sharp Objects. Have you read that one? At least Amazon thinks you do.

Greetings from New Brunswick, Canada! I am a teacher (English) and also a bibliophile---much to my husband's despair..."too many books in the house", he says......how could be be ever true!! Thanks very much for the invite. I am very interested in reading your books....I read such a wide range of fiction and nonfiction as you can see by my library. I just finished The Kite Runner which was wonderful and am reading Jimmy Carter's Palestine which is very interesting. I also LOVE mysteries and suspense. Should your books be read in a certain sequence...are they a series? I love to start at beginnings!

nice to meet you online! I really enjoyed Beautiful lies and look forward to reading more of your books. Isn't Librarything a joy? There is something curiously satisfying about adding one's books and seeing the list grow. In my case it's books I've read rather than books I own, but in most cases that is the same thing (especially in recent years as I have been able to afford to buy more books!)

Lisa - I just love the name ;-) Since I share it..
Thank you for inviting me as a friend. I loved Beautiful Lies, I have the sequel in my TBR. I'm just waiting for a chance to read it.
I am very selective about the suspense fiction that I read these days. I was weaned on suspense and horror, though I tend to read much more literary fiction these days. Beautiful Lies really pulled me in and was one of those gems that will always keep me coming back to the genre. Your on my list for suspense that must be read along with Dean Koontz (my personal favorite), James Patterson, Tami Hoag, Jeffrey Deaver & Linda Howard. Keep up the good work!!

I enjoyed perusing your bookshelf and was happy to find that we share quite a few books.. I am always interested in the books that inspired writers as I am an aspiring author myself and knowing that we loved some of the same books, makes me feel as if I might someday do it too..

Thanks so much for the friend invite. I loved Beautiful Lies and now just have to find time to read Sliver of Truth. Beautiful Lies has made it's way to my keeper shelf! Can't wait for the next one to come out!

Hi Lisa,
Beautiful Lies has been sitting on my nightstand waiting to be read next, so I was thrilled to get an invite to be added as your friend. Thanks!

Lisa- I see we share a few books. You've definitely got a diverse mix. I see you recently started your LibraryThing account. I've been working on mine for a year; still tagging away. It's taking forever.

My husband read "Beautiful Lies" and enjoyed it a great deal. The endorsement form Lee Child was a winner. He love's Lee Child. I see quite a few other LT members have enjoyed your books as well. What a nice compliment!

I am an reader who enjoys writing; sometimes I wish I were a writer that enjoyed reading. Not sure when I'm going to get a manuscript completed with 2,000 books in my dining room waiting to be read. When I get an hour or two of free time, I usually end up reading while feeling guilty that I'm not writing.

I imagine as a published author it must be fun (if not a bit surreal) to sneak a peak at all the libraries containing your work!

It snowed in Anchorage today. How was the weather in Florida? - Linda

Thank you for the invite. Now you have inspired me to find the time to read Beautiful Lies and review it on my book blog. I can't wait. The book is one of those with a book blurb that made it hard to resist.

I look forward to posting the review link here for you when done :)

Loved your book Beautiful Lies! I just today saw you request to be added as a Librarything friend, so of course I accepted. Thank you! I'll have to check out Sliver of Truth!
