BBB: Tell us 3 things not in your bio we don’t know about you that might make us leery of befriending you. LOL
CA: Ha! All right, no-holds it is. And actually, that’s the first thing to be leery of. I tell the truth, sometimes when I maybe would be better off not doing so. Don’t ask me if you look fat in that dress unless you really want to know, okay?

Hi, I’m Lisa Carlisle. I write in many genres, mostly paranormal erotic romance for Ellora’s Cave. Lately, I’ve been writing about gargoyles. I’m fascinated with them and have been for many years. You should see my study. There are three framed photos of Notre Dame gargoyles above my monitor, a winged gargoyle statue on the left, a dragon gargoyle on the right, and book end gargoyles on the shelves behind me.

Supernatural Slapdown
Fevered Hearts versus Soulgirls
One of the perks of writing two paranormal series side-by-side is the comparison and contrast of one versus the other. Someone asked what book is my favorite? What series is my favorite? Honestly, I do love them all. My love for them is why I write them. In the interest of fairness, however, I thought I’d host a little showdown between the two series—let’s see who wins.

Authors Speak Out
In this day and age, a lot of bestseller books are increasingly being made into films. Some of these do really well in the box office while others completely flop. This could be as a result of a number of things including poor marketing or not enough marketing, casting a poor choice of actors who are unfit for that particular characters’ role regardless if they are good actors or not, leaving out a majority of the elements which were Read More »

Welcome to our new monthly feature where we introduce one member of the lovely Bitten by Books review staff. Feel free to ask questions in the blog comments section below.
Reviewer Name: Rachel Smith with BBB since 2008
How did you get into the paranormal fiction genre?
Rachel: I started reading paranormal fiction when I became very ill with a life threatening disease. That disease and this genre completely changed my life. My first series was the Riley Jensen Guardian series by Keri Arthur.

The women in my family keep journals. I can’t say for certain how long we’ve been at it, or whose idea it was to start documenting our lives, but my mother has a lockbox in New York that’s filled with them – and none are hers. When I was a teenager I tried reading them, but their lives were too intimidating – and sad.
