Off the Shelf

Our February 2024 Off the Shelf was with Lisa Malice - yes, that is really her last name - a former corporate psychologist and recent first-time published author. Her first novel, Lest She Forget, is a psychological thriller that digs deep into an amnesiac's struggle to remember her forgotten past while running for her life.

Originally from Minnesota, Lisa spent 23 years in Atlanta and now lives in New Port Richey, Florida where she is a member of Sisters in Crime, International Thriller Writers and Mystery Writers of America.
