Lisa A. Moore
Award-winning fantasy author Lisa A. Moore (Best New Fantasy Author 2025) crafts worlds where Celtic mythology meets modern sass, and gothic shadows hide wicked bargains. Her Readers' Favorite 5-star rated novels 'Whispers of the Selkie' and 'The Bet in Nocturne Alley' showcase her range from selkie shapeshifters to frost-wielding undead. When she's not writing about cursed merchants who speak in rhymes or ancient family secrets, she's plotting new ways to torment her characters (with a cup of tea in hand, naturally). Fair warning: her books may contain excessive amounts of sarcasm, magical mishaps, and the occasional supernatural shenanigan.
