Lisa Miscione

While hard at work publicizing other authors at a major publishing company in New York City, Lisa Miscione was burning the midnight oil to complete her first novel, Angel Fire (St. Martin's Press; February 2002; $23.95). Writing on the train during her commute from Brooklyn, at nights after bookstore events for authors she publicized -- and even once sneaking out a few pages during a sales conference slide presentation, scribbling on hotel stationery in the darkened room -- it took a few years to complete this thriller.

She effectively "dropped out" of Manhattan life in the year 2000 to get married and become a full-time writer, and soon after she was signed on by literary agent Elaine Markson. Now living in Clearwater, Florida with her husband, she is working on her second and third novels in what has become a "series" featuring Lydia Strong. The second novel, currently untitled, will be published by St. Martin's Minotaur in 2003 simultaneous with the paperback release of Angel Fire.

A graduate of the New School for Social Research/Eugene Lang College in Manhattan, Miscione's work has appeared in The Tampa Tribune, The Riverdale Press, and other publications. She is also a member of the Mystery Writers of America and Sisters In Crime organizations.
