The perfect love story in a Barnes and Noble? Thatโs what happened to me and
itโs my love story. Itโs also a story heavily on my mind as book 4
NO IN
BETWEEN is released today, since the love of my life helped inspire me to
write the
Inside Out series, which is now in development for cable TV.
So this is how it all beganโฆ
Long before my career took off, I was in a Barnes and Noble at the New Release
rack, dreaming of the day my books might be there, when my now husband, also a
book addict, approach me. From there, love bloomed, and the story gets even better.
Diego was a physical therapist, laid off when the office had financial troubles
and I was a starving artist. We began auction hunting AKA Storage Wars before
Storage Wars existed. During that time, Diego found a journal and started
reading. I often jokes he was such a chick reading it. Someone is dead next
door! Sheโs pregnant again! WHAT is she thinking? He decided right then I needed
to write a story where someone finds a journal in a storage unit and either
someone dies or they turn into a zombie. I opted out of the zombie idea but
after Diego โnaggedโ me, my words not his, for several years, I sat down and
penned the mystery.
The story of a prim and proper school teacher, Sara McMillan, who inherits a
storage unit from her neighbor who was trying auction hunting, sprouted. Sara
reads Rebeccaโs journal and relates to how the other woman feared her dreams but
chased them despite that fear. But when the journal ends ominously, Sara also
fears for Rebeccaโs life. Sara seeks out Rebecca, unable to find her, but
somehow begins living her life without meaning to, involved with the same people
Rebecca had been, one man in particular. What is comes down to- What if we trust
the wrong people? What if we do it at a time in our life when we feel the most
exposed?
The series is now adapted for cable television, currently in development with
acclaimed producer Suzanne Todd (
Alice and Wonderland w/Johnny Depp,
Austin Powers,
Must Love Dogs, and more).
โLisa has created a beautiful, complicated, and sensual world that is filled
with intrigue and suspense. Saraโs character is strong, flawed, complex, and
sexy - a modern girl we all can identify with. Iโm thrilled to develop a
television show that will tell Saraโs whole story - her life, her work, her
friends, and her sexuality. โ
