“When you write romantic suspense, there are three story threads that you've got to weave together,” Lisa says. “There’s the romantic tension between your characters in which they've got to overcome certain obstacles that threaten their relationship. Then you've also got the thread of suspense where the characters are trying to either find a killer or escape, a killer or someone will die. And because I write from a Christian worldview, there's also the spiritual thread that is running through my novels, where the characters are coming to grips with God's invitation for a relationship. I'm weaving together these three story tension threads between the spiritual and the romantic and the suspense and it's kind of a little dance to get them all, to come out together in the end.”
