Lisa Keeling Writes
 

Hi, I’m Lisa, I'm the co-author of *Ashton Falls: Such a Lovely Place to Die*, a psychological thriller I wrote with Kim Hendren, set in New York’s Finger Lakes, where secrets and suspicion collide.

I also wrote *The Audacity of Her: A Woman’s Guide to Unapologetic Living*, a more mainstream evolution of my original workbook, *Big Sis Energy*.

 

My children’s books include *I Love Myself the Way My Puppy Loves Me (Unconditionally)*, a heartwarming reminder that we are worthy of the same unconditional love our dogs give us, *Zuzu’s Girls*, a love letter to friendship and Christmas magic in New York City, and *The Friendship Garden* (co-authored with Kim Hendren), which explores healthy friendships.

In addition to my love of writing, I've always been obsessed with dogs and Christmas, two things that, in their own way, reflect the heart and emotion I love weaving into my stories. The only things I love more are my husband, John, and our three dogs at home, especially Zuzu, my constant sidekick, who is, without question, the heartbeat behind nearly everything I do.

Six college friends. One autumn weekend. A trip that changes everything. Now in their late 40s, a tight-knit group of women reunites in the Finger Lakes for wine, laughter, and a much-needed escape. Their lakeside getaway promises cozy comfort, scenic views, and a chance to reconnect. But as the wine flows, so do the secrets. Old tensions resurface. New betrayals take root. And by the end of the weekend, one of them won’t be going home alive. Set in the crisp, golden beauty of Ashton Falls, this suspenseful novel explores friendship, loyalty, and the quiet unraveling of a group that once felt unbreakable.

Genre: Psychological drama/suspense/thriller/mystery. Cozy fiction. Commercial fiction that's both plot driven and character driven.
