Best Selling Books by Lisa Shea

It was cosmic fate that I was a thought-after grand-niece, for it meant when Tobias passed away from his delirium that his run-down apartment in Providence, Rhode Island became available to me. Fate, too, that the abhorrent discovery of my girlfriend cheating on me with a nautical blonde drove me back to a city I swore I would never live in again. But the fates had an even more horrific plan in store for me. For in the dusty back room of my grand-uncle''s third floor awaited three musty, long-abandoned boxes. And when curiosity drove me to open the lid ... * * * The Monstrous Vision of the Cthulhu Call is book one in my series: A Lovecraft Romp Through Every Genre There Is – And Some That Are Not. As the title might indicate, I was informed by a fellow author that every series absolutely must stay within a well-defined genre. Being a contrarian, I promptly set out to write a series in which each subsequent story is set with the same characters in a wildly different genre. I would love to hear your thoughts as I write this series as to which genres I should tackle next. Space Opera? Cozy Mystery? Amish Romance? The fun of me posting series as I write them is that it provides you, the reader, with an opportunity to shape and guide the results! Book 1 is the Horror Genre book. I will post a boxed set when I finish, for those who prefer to read series all at once. A portion of all proceeds benefit battered women''s shelters. I lived in Providence for two years and the series is based on where I lived.

Amber treasured her Navajo heritage. Until now, she had never left her home on the reservation in the Four Corners.

A man who had left for the Korean War and never returned home. Shash Hayou had been lost in action along with his best friend, Charlie Atene. But Charlie was alive. And the more Amber discovers, the more she questions everything she once held as true. * * * The Counterfeit Lighthouse is book one in the Navajo Footsteps in Korea series. Lisa''s novellas are written without explicit intimacy or violence. As such they are suitable for teens and up. Half of all proceeds from this series benefits battered women''s shelters.

I have owned parakeets (also called budgies or keets) since I was a tiny toddler. I have photos of my pregnant-with-me-mom''s parakeet (named Gandalf), so she owned parakeets even before I was born. Sometimes I''ve had four parakeets, sometimes just one, but in one way or another parakeets manage to wiggle their fluffy ways into my heart. This book is a compilation of my years of experience, not only with my own parakeets, but also with helping the tens of thousands of parakeet-loving visitors who come to my parakeet forum. Between the group of us we''ve probably experienced everything there is that could happen to a keet, good or bad. There is information on choosing a parakeet, feeding a parakeet, and full step by step instructions on hand training your parakeet. You can learn about parakeet activities, parakeet toys, and parakeet socialization. While the web is of course an awesome resource, often there are times that it''s simply easier to read an organized, sequential set of instructions on an e-reader. Also, it seems that web access goes down during emergency situations! Having an ebook version of those "what to do" instructions available on your e-reader has saved many a keet owner. Think of it as part of your emergency care kit for your beloved pet. If you have any questions, always feel free to email me! I''m happy to lend a hand with keets. Enjoy!

Haiku. A crystalline drop of vision, delicately colored, conveying a pinpoint moment in time. Starting with its structure of five-seven-five syllables, its possibilities are endless. Meld that in with wet-on-wet watercolor, the very essence of patience and release of expectations, and you have a combination which inspires and soothes. Artist Lisa Shea provides seasonally-themed pairings of words and images which tantalize and delight. In each case she pondered the poem while sitting down with a six-inch by six-inch piece of watercolor paper. She then made one and only one pass at creating an image to go with that poem. There were no do-overs. There were no fixer-uppers. Just as in life, she took a deep breath, and began. The result was often swayed by water movement, air movement, and other factors far beyond her control. And that''s all right. The journey is what matters. Join Lisa on her journey, and share your thoughts on the results! * * * Haiku of the Great Blue Hill - Poetry and Watercolors of Massachusetts is Lisa''s first book of published poetry. Lisa has been writing poetry since she was a young girl. She has always adored the Japanese culture and ran a feudal Japan newsletter for ten years.

Morgan''s life was settling into place with the gentle ease of a heron coming in for a landing on a still Massachusetts lake. Jason, the man she loved, was a serene presence in her world. Their evenings of kayaking on Manchaug Pond were the perfect counterpoint to her days writing and maintaining an online presence. The world was in balance. And then, in the shadowy depths behind Sutton''s long-abandoned drive-in, Morgan stumbles across a shallow grave holding the skeletal body of a young woman. How long had the girl lain there? Why had nobody reported her missing? The only clue to the girl''s identity is a beeswax Santa figurine, one of the first prototypes created by the artisans at Vaillancourt Folk Art. The trail delves into a world of prejudice and jealousy, of shattered dreams and lost hopes. Through it all, Morgan and Jason steadfastly hold to their vision - that they can at last bring justice and peace to this one girl''s memory. All proceeds benefit battered women''s shelters.

Ann had been born in England, came over in 1635, and was 75 by the time of the trials.
