ⓘ About Lisa Carter
She likes describing her Daphne Award winning romantic suspense books as “Sweet Tea with a Slice of Murder”. “Under a Turquoise Sky” won the Carol Award in 2015 and “The Christmas Bargain” won the Carol Award for Short Novel in 2021. Lisa enjoys researching her next adventure, teaching writing workshops, and traveling. As a native North Carolinian, she has got strong opinions about ACC basketball and barbecue. To battle against writer’s block, she does something rote which occupies her hands yet frees her subconscious mind to perambulate around the sticking point in her story. She will do laundry, take a walk, take a shower (her husband always says that you can chart her books by the water bill), and if all else has failed, she’ll clean the house. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Standalone Novels series, Lisa Carter has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
