That’s an interesting question. I did see her as a youthful, chic, but older woman. But I never considered her exact age. I guess I’ll just say here that I think older women can be attractive and flirty, too! And not necessarily defined by the idea o

“When you start to really know someone, all his physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in his energy, recognize the scent of his skin. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That's why you can't fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and body but not your heart. And that's why, when you really connect with a person's inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant.”
― Beautiful Lies

“I think most people are just trying to be happy, and that most of their actions, however misguided, are in line with that goal. Most people just want to feel they belong somewhere, want to be loved, and want to feel they're important to someone. If you really examine all the wrongheaded and messed-up things they do, they can most often be traced back to that basic desire. The abusers, the addicted, the cruel and unpleasant, the manipulators --these are just people who started this quest for happiness in the basement of their lives. Someone communicated to them through word or deed that they were undeserving, so they think they have to claw their way there over the backs of others, leaving scars and creating damage. Of course, they only create more misery for themselves and others.”

“I can get my head turned by a good-looking guy as much as the next girl. But sexy doesn't impress me. Smart impresses me, strength of character impresses me. But most of all, I am impressed by kindness. Kindness, I think, comes from learning hard lessons well, from falling and picking yourself up. It comes from surviving failure and loss. It implies an understanding of the human condition, forgives its many flaws and quirks. When I see that in someone, it fills me with admiration.”

hey lisa. i love your books. well the only ones i've read so far. i got the all your books in the public libary but sadly it was only three books. beautiful lies, silver of truth, and black out. they were great. i'm looking forward to getting your other novels, in a book store. =).
Wonderful blurb for FRAGILE from the bestselling and award winning (and extremely cool) author Laura Lippman! See http://lnk.ms/7YVzp
Hi Lisa and thanks so much for the connect:)And do check your mail here:)
Many blessings to you
Chase Von:)
Thanks Lisa for the add. You have such talent! If you have time, I'd love for you to visit my web site, jeanniebarber.com. I'm a novice writer so feel free to make any kind of suggestions, ideas or thoughts to correct it. I’m co-authoring a novel with Patty Wiseman, another friend on Goodreads. We’ve known each other for over 30 years. While you're there, please sign the guestbook, too! There’s also a link to our book you can click on…clairkelley@synthasite.com. This site is brand new and in the editing stage as is our story. Please visit it as well. We’re both very green, but we’ve met so many people on this site willing to reach out and offer advice or a guiding hand. Blessings,
Jeannie
Hi Lisa,Thanks for befriending this fellow mystery/suspense author!
Lisa, I've added Black Out and your other books to my to-read list.
thanks for the ad and I am looking forward in getting to know you thanks Michele Marchettihttp://www.discoverytoyslink.com/mich...
http://www.myspace.com./discoverytoys...
Looking for help pt./ft nationwide if you know of anyone who would like to make some money let me know refferals are rewarded.
Lisa,Don't want to finish "Black Out" because it's so brilliant. The parent/child relationships are so insightful and scarily accurate. Genius!
Peace, courtney
Lisa,Now that we're friends on myspace, facebook and goodreads I don't think I'll ever miss a bit of what you write!
I got "Black Out" in the post the day it came out thanks to amazon's pre-order and I've moved you to the top of my ever-expanding 'to read' pile. I bumped "The Reapers" by John Connolly and "Snuff" by Chuck P., but I'm only half finished with the the latest Elizabeth George "Careless in Red" AND I finally got my own writing groove back! I can't wait to read your book, but I have to take some time to get there so they all get the attention they deserve.
I hope you've hit the ground running and "Black Out" has been flying off shelves of every book store!
Peace,
courtney
Happy Early Birthday Lisa, Hope you have a blessing weekend.
Hi Lisa,Glad to be your friend here as well as on myspace.
