Welcome!
I'm glad you stopped by for a visit. Kick off your shoes, grab your favorite
beverage and a snack, and plan to learn more about my love for writing romantic
suspense and women's fiction.
Keep your eye on the cat – he’s a real flirt.

Happy Spring!
I hope everyone
survived what was, at least in Michigan, a
looooooooooong winter! I’m so glad to see the
sunshine again. But yet I’m looking forward to
April showers. I always write more productively
when it’s raining. And I have a LOT of writing to
do. I sold three books to Silhouette Nocturne and a
Nocturne Bite, which is an ebook. I’m thrilled to be
writing more Nocturnes. Thanks again to all those
who sent emails regarding my Witch Hunt series. I
LOVE hearing from readers. I’m asked almost daily
if Maria will have her own story – hopefully
someday. But none of these books is hers. I hope
you’ll enjoy IMMORTAL
BRIDE, PHANTOM LOVER & DÉJÀ VU though,
which are all tentatively scheduled for release in
2009.
And I recently
received more good news. I sold another series to
Harlequin American. The Citizens Police Academy
will also debut in 2009 with
THE LIEUTENANT’S LADY,
FALLEN HERO &
HIS VICE...COP.
Ever since I was a member of my own city’s Citizens
Police Academy, I’ve wanted to write this series.
So I couldn’t be any happier. Or busier. J
Rainy weather
is also good for reading. Please remember that
THE BEST MAN’S BRIDE,
the second book of my Wedding Party series from
Harlequin American, is a May release. I had so much
fun writing that series and hope you all enjoy
reading the books.
UNEXPECTED BRIDE, the first book, and a
February release might still be available at
eharlequin.com. I’m also giving away two copies on
my contest
page.
FOREVER HIS BRIDE
is an August release and
FINALLY A BRIDE concludes the series in
October.
Wishing you all
a FABULOUS spring!
Happy Reading!

CHRISTMAS PRESENCE:
Three Tales of Love by Donna Birdsell, Lisa
Childs and Susan Crosby is uplifting and highly
entertaining. This is the perfect holiday read
by three wonderfully talented authors. Grab a
cup of Christmas cheer and snuggle up in your

 Reviewer: Amelia Richard,
(Senior Reviewer and Interview Coordinator for
www.cataromance.com,
www.ecataromance.com &
www.singletitles.com ) says, "DAMNED combines the supernatural with actuality in a heartfelt romance,
producing a chilling tale of enduring love.
With the constant action and rollercoaster emotions throughout the story, the
concluding book in the Witch Hunt trilogy will grab you with its building
suspense and powerful feelings. Lisa Childs has created an intriguing world
where the lives of three sisters become intertwined during the deadly hunt for
them by a deranged killer."
Reviewer: Heather M. Riley at
RomanceJunkies.com says, "This third book in
Lisa Childs's Witch Hunt series is wonderful. It
has all the answers to questions raised in the
previous two stories. This is definitely a book
to check out."

 "In
a stunning sequel to
Haunted,
Persecuted
is a journey into a mother’s worst nightmare."
Lisa Childs does
a wonderful job of keeping things mysterious,
leaving us only little crumbs to follow along as
she writes. This is not to say however her style
lags in any way, quite the contrary she gives us
just enough to carry the story. With so many
questions
unanswered the conclusion to this trio will be
no doubt a great one. Reviewed

"This was certainly another compelling story in your
Witch Hunt series, where secrets are learned but
there are still many questions to be answered.
Am definitely looking forward to the next book
in the series about Irina. Know it will be
intriguing plus filled with much emotion between
your wonderful characters.

paranormal thriller is exciting and filled with
so much action that readers won't have a chance

"HAUNTED is a fast paced read that will keep you
guessing until the very end. The romance and
suspense are deftly woven with the paranormal
elements to provide a satisfying read that will keep
you turning the pages well into the night."
Reviewed by Cat Cody, Romance Junkies For a complete
review

 "The
debut of the Witch Hunt series will leave
readers spellbound as magic is woven throughout
the pages. Who can resist the allure of ancient
evil and the mystical powers that witches
possess? Easily entrancing Haunted is a quick
read, offering readers an escape from the
mundane reality of everyday life. Ariel becomes
a fast favorite, as she is often misunderstood
but never misguided. The strength of Ariel is
what makes her an anchor that is sure to be
shown later on in this remarkable series,
leaving one to wonder what attributes her
sisters will bring to the table. It is with
great anxiety; I find myself twiddling my thumbs
in anticipation for the next release, as the
novels are not being processed quickly enough
for my liking.
Lisa Childs proves herself to be a writer that will be
sought after soon enough, so for now it is
comparable to finding a rare gem amongst a
barrel of beads. Discovering authors you never
knew were out there makes every new book a
chance at becoming one of many books you
wouldn’t be able to live without. Lisa Childs is
one of those authors who may just make that
sacred list. Unfortunately as a Silhouette book
Haunted won’t be available forever as once the
limited supply is sold out the chance of
exploring this starts to deteriorate. This is a
must buy for anyone who loves to dabble in the
paranormal world of witches." Reviewed by

"LEARNING
TO HULA is one of the sweetest, funniest, and
moving stories that this reviewer has had the
pleasure to read in a long time. Lisa Childs does a
superb job of creating real characters, enhancing
their strengths and flaws, which make them lovable.
Problems are unraveled and lessons on living are
taught in this wonderful, poignantly humorous tale.
This book comes highly recommended for readers of
all ages." Review by Betty Cox (NovelTalk

"Talented Lisa Childs takes a most delicate subject
and presents it in a real next door neighbor way.
Her heroine, Holly, transformed from a fragile
unsure person to a strong, ready for life woman
before my eyes. Holly’s struggle with rebuilding her
life was made real with a touch of humor and Ms.
Childs captured it perfectly. For a heart warming
story with a chuckle, be sure to get your copy of
LEARNING TO HULA." Review by Donna Zapf
