Lisa M. Matlin was a guitarist in a band before switching from song writing to story writing.

She lives in Melbourne, Australia, with her golden retriever. She’s probably rewatching The Walking Dead right now and trying not to laugh at her own jokes. Matlin is a passionate mental health advocate and your dog’s number one fan.

THE STRANGER UPSTAIRS was a Book of the Month pick. Her second novel, THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS, is out March 2026.
