Books in Order: Unravelling the Chronicle of Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke
Master weavers of words, Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke have graced the literary landscape with groundbreaking novels. Bridging friendship with shared passion, these best friends transformed their “pipe dream” of co-writing into a palpable reality.
Originally, they gained notoriety crafting books in the romantic suspense genre. However, with the passage of time, their storytelling has matured, choosing to delve into the intriguing world of psychological thrillers. Their joint writing venture wasn’t all a bed of roses initially. Their initial manuscripts didn’t find favor with publishing houses, given the perceived decline of the chick-lit genre. Undeterred, the duo demonstrated their unwavering commitment to their craft by launching Chick Lit is not Dead! on their self-created website.
Reinforced by their firm resolve, they ventured back into the world of storytelling and were sweetly rewarded with immense success, their works resonating with readers worldwide.
Infusing Realism into Fiction
Books in order of this pair are often crafted around locales they’ve personally experienced. Pioneering this trend is their riveting psychological thriller, Girls’ Night Out. Nestled in a Mexican resort, the book intricately details the experiences of estranged friends. Their actual visit to the resort provided a vibrant canvas for storytelling, breathing life into the locations.
Such firsthand experiences immensely enrich their narrative style, spinning a web of intensely realistic backdrops against which their characters come alive.
