About this author

Lisa Desrochers lives in central California with her husband and two very busy daughters. It was her oldest daughter’s love of books that first inspired her to write for young adults. There is never a time that she can be found without a book in her hand, and she adores stories that take her to new places, and then take her by surprise.

Growing up all over the country has inspired wanderlust and she loves travel, which works out well because she lectures internationally on a variety of health care topics. She has a Doctorate in Physical Therapy and maintains a full-time practice in California.

Her YA debut, PERSONAL DEMONS (Tor Teen/Macmillan) is in bookstores everywhere and the sequel, ORIGINAL SIN, releases July 5, 2011. It's the second in...more


I've made some really fun discoveries this week! A package came on Wednesday and this was in it!

The left is the Italian hardcover ofOriginal Sin! I didn't even know that Original Sin (or as the Italians are calling it, Il Bacio del Peccato- The Kiss of Sin) had published in Italy.

I will read everything the lovely Kody writes. Once again, she's addressed social issues important to teens without coming off as preachy. Shut Out, like The DUFF, is brilliant in every way.

You want.

This book is just bunches of WOW and OMG! You won't be able to put it down! Promise!

"Yes, there are hellhounds in Last Rite...but not many. Sorry. ;p "
Original Sin by Lisa Desrochers
" Rougher. Naughtier. Less Hellhoundey.

In the beginning, it was just nice to see Frannie and Luc and Gabe again. All seemed well, sort of sweet and hopeful. The horizon was rosy. But of course it can't stay that way. Oh no. They all have to get drag... "

“Gabriel.
This has to be his fault, somehow. I'm going to track him down, pluck out his angel feathers, and stuff a pillow with them.”
Lisa Desrochers, Personal Demons

“Sii la mia schiava d’amore,” I purr.
Her expression is guarded. “What did you say?”
An amused smile pulls at my lips. “I’ll never tell.” Somehow, I don’t think she’d agree to be my love slave anyway.”—Luc Cain (p. 148)”
Lisa Desrochers, Personal Demons

“But his eyes say what he can’t. I see it, clear as day, even if she doesn’t. He’d give up his wings for her. All she’d have to do is ask.”
Lisa Desrochers, Personal Demons

Ayesha Hi Lisa! So I was going to wait a while before getting Personal Demons - my book-buying's getting me broke - again! Howwwwevvverrrr..... Just read just the first couple pages on GoogleBooks (to the part where Luc fixes it when Frannie writes "Luke") and.... well..... *Purrrrrrrrr* Let's just say I'm oh so happy it came out in paperback right away cause that'll alleviate some of the guilt over going broke (again!)
