Lisa and Laura Roecker
Rockin’ 2011 Debut Author Spotlight: Lisa and Laura Roecker
When Christina Lee suggested we band together to spotlight some of our favorite 2011 debut authors, I knew right away I wanted to spotlight Lisa and Laura Roecker who debuted in March with The Liar Society.
Fabulous book!
Here’s the blurb from their blog: Best friends don’t send emails once they’re dead. With her dead best friend’s pearls and skirts tiny enough to make Nancy Drew blush, Kate’s on the trail to prove once and for all that Grace’s death was more than just a tragic accident. But secrets haunt the halls of her elite private school. Secrets people will do anything to protect. Even if it means getting rid of the girl trying to solve a murder…
I revel in brevity, so I give you Three Things I Loved about The Liar Soceity:
- The pink hair. This is not just an outward description of Kate (the MC). It’s all part of the mystery of what happened and how it affected her. (I believe this is called Depth.)
- The mystery. It starts on page 1 and doesn’t let up. I wanted to solve the mystery as much as Kate! And the clues? How cool that they show up in her email.
- The tension. It is no easy feat to fill every page of a book with just the right balance of tension and believability. Let’s just say that I stayed up late to make sure Kate was okay. Laura and Lisa (just wanted to change things up there) rock at writing page turners.
In short, I can hardly wait for book 2!
To share the love, I’ll be giving a copy away to one lucky commenter. You have until Sunday, 16 October 2011 EST to enter. So comment away (and please make sure I have a way to contact you in case you win)!
