  <about><![CDATA[New York Times bestselling crime novelist Lisa Gardner began her career in food service, but after catching her hair on fire numerous times, she took the hint and focused on writing instead. A self-described research junkie, she has parlayed her interest in police procedure, cutting edge forensics and twisted plots into a streak of eleven bestselling suspense novels, including her most recent release, The Neighbor.

Readers are invited to get in on the fun by entering the annual &quot;Kill a Friend, Maim a Mate&quot; Sweepstakes, where they can nominate the person of their choice to die in Lisa's latest novel. Every year, one Lucky Stiff is selected for Literary Immortality. It's cheaper than therapy, and you get a great book besides. For more details, simply visit Lisa's website.

Lisa lives in the White Mountains of New Hampshire with her family, as well as two highly spoiled dogs and one extremely neurotic three-legged cat.

Lisa graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in international relations.]]></about>    <gender>female</gender>
