"It's obvious that you are a gifted, talented and experienced writer, Lisa. Your understanding of teen mentality and inner feelings is uncanny and very well worded. "Run For Your Life"--book one is well on its way to becoming another welcomed addition to your successful portfolio."

"A neat trick to be in the mind of a thirteen year old girl. I have a goddaughter and can't imagine it--not even a clue. Writing is clean and fast. I like the first person--more intimate personal."

"Wow, what an ending! You've got me interested--is it Bill playing a practical joke? Or the real murderer? Very well done. You capture that manic, life threatening rollercoaster of teenage love extremely well and give just enough hints for the reader to have forebodings about Bill. And one excellent hook for the next chapter."

"This definitely relates to a thirteen-year-old girl's psychology, thoughts, heart, feelings, and problems a teenager would face. I also liked the romantic side--her boyfriend is the center of her world. And I loved the end--the sudden change of plot makes you want to keep reading to see what happens."

"Hey, Lisa, this looks interesting enough for me to follow. I thoroughly enjoyed the shape of your main character and the way you've engaged her in what appears to be a thickening plot. The imagery is good and the dialogue was ideally placed. You showed enough and told enough (that's key!)."
