Author bio

Lisa Jackson was born in 1952 in Molalla, Oregon, and she grew up in the Pacific Northwest. Before she was publishing novels, she worked in the financial world and wrote around the edges of everyday life, learning to grab whatever quiet time she could.

Writing became real when she decided to try it, not just dream about it. Encouraged by her sister, the novelist Nancy Bush, Jackson began working on a book that could actually sell. Her first novel, A Twist of Fate, came out in the early 1980s, and she spent years building a backlist the old-fashioned way, one book at a time.

The romance stayed, but the danger moved closer.

A lot of readers meet her through the long-running New Orleans books, where detectives Rick Bentz and Reuben Montoya chase predators through humid streets, old neighborhoods, and the city’s shadowy edges. Hot Blooded kicked that world into motion, and later titles like Shiver and The Last Sinner keep pushing the same question, how well can you really know the people around you when someone is lying for sport?

In Jackson’s fiction, the past doesn’t politely stay in the past.

She also writes gripping series that lean into wide-open landscapes and the kind of isolation that makes every sound feel louder. In Montana, detectives Selena Alvarez and Regan Pescoli take on cases that feel personal fast, starting with Left to Die. The “to die” books are page-turners, but they also make room for partnership, stubborn hope, and the slow grind of trying to stop the next crime before it happens.

Jackson likes one-off stories that start with a single bad moment and then refuse to let go. In You Will Pay, a long-ago summer comes back with teeth. In After She’s Gone, a sister’s search turns into a nightmare tangled with fame and old trauma. And books like Paranoid and Our Little Secret play in the space where a familiar place suddenly feels unsafe.

Her earlier work shows another side of her range. Novels like Treasures, Wishes, Intimacies, and Whispers put relationships front and center, often against a backdrop of family money, hidden histories, and the pressure to be who other people expect. She has also written historical romance under the name Susan Lynn Crose, including the Welsh-set trilogy that begins with Enchantress.

Whether the story is contemporary or historical, Jackson returns to a few steady obsessions: families with sharp edges, small towns that keep score, and secrets that do real damage. She likes heroines who keep moving even when they’re scared, and heroes who have to earn trust, not demand it.

Along the way, she has teamed up with other writers, including collaborations with Nancy Bush and Rosalind Noonan on the Wyoming-set thrillers Sinister and Ominous. That mix of family connection and shared storytelling shows up in her books too, where relationships are rarely simple and loyalty always gets tested.

Jackson is still closely tied to the Pacific Northwest, and her settings often carry that lived-in feeling of rain, trees, and long stretches of road. Her career has lasted because she sticks to the essentials: high stakes, messy motives, and characters who have to decide what they’re willing to risk for the truth.
