Hi, I'm Lisa Keeling.
I'm a Florida author who believes stories can entertain, encourage, and remind us there's always room for hope.
I write psychological suspense, children's books, and guided journals, but every book I create is written with heart. My goal is to leave readers feeling entertained, encouraged, or simply glad they picked up the book.
When I'm not writing, you'll usually find me reading, crafting, or spending time with my husband, John, and our three dogs—especially my tiny shadow, Zuzu.
Thanks for stopping by. I'm so glad you're here!

Ashton Falls:
such a lovely place to die
A psychological murder mystery: 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.
Ashton Falls:
Death on the Amalfi Coast
One lavish estate in Positano, Italy. Multiple murders. Who can you trust? Two years after the events in Ashton Falls, Rowan returns to Italy’s breathtaking Amalfi Coast with the Ashton Falls ladies for a glamorous escape. But when she’s invited to cover a high-profile murder for her true crime podcast, the trip takes a deadly turn. As candlelit dinners, cliffside villas, and sparkling Mediterranean nights give way to secrets, betrayals, and rising tensions, Rowan finds herself drawn into a seductive world of wealth, suspicion, and dangerous lies. Set against the sun-drenched beauty of the Amalfi Coast, this suspenseful sequel explores friendship, loyalty, love, and the truths people will kill to protect.

a tampa bay murder mystery
BAYSHORE HARBOR UPDATE!
Welcome to Bayshore Harbor A Gorgeous Place for Horrible People is my upcoming Tampa Bay cozy murder mystery, set in a gorgeous, gated Florida community full of secrets, questionable behavior, and people who are absolutely not as lovely as the scenery.
I’m getting lots of questions about when this baby will be available, so I wanted to give you a little update!
I’m still writing and polishing, and when I’m finally happy with it, it’ll go through professional editing, then off to several skilled beta readers, then a final edit, professional formatting for print and Kindle, and THEN I’ll order an actual proof copy so I can hold the damn thing in my hands and make sure everything is exactly how I want it before it goes live.
So if this book takes a little longer than the others, DON’T LOSE INTEREST! I promise Avery and Cici haven’t disappeared, and neither has Bayshore Harbor. I just want to do this one P E R F E C T!
And once it’s finished? I have some REALLY exciting things planned for this book, especially right here in Tampa Bay.
This story is SO local, SO Florida, and becoming exactly the gorgeous, funny, dark, twisted little mystery I wanted it to be.
Stay tuned. We’re getting there. And I think it’s going to be worth the wait!
