About Lisa Scottoline

Lisa Scottoline’s work exceeds the boundaries traced by novels and short stories. The author, in fact, published also 4 books that righteously reside in the field of Nonfiction. The first one is titled Why My Third Husband Will Be A Dog: The Amazing Adventures of an Ordinary Woman, and was announced by the author in her popular column on the Philadelphia Inquirer. This is how Lisa Scottoline explains her choice, saying: “ I write short stories, which means that I usually have 100.000 words to tell a story. In a column I have only 700 words. I can barely say Good Moring in 700 words. I am Italian”. So, she decides to bring together her columns, using way more than 700 words, in order to create a beautiful volume shaped by a sharp, witty irony and framed by 70 cartoons. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Rosato & Associates Books series, Lisa Scottoline 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.
