About the Authors:
Lisa Scottoline is the New York Timesbestselling author and Edgar award-winning author
of 22 novels, including her latest,
KEEP QUIET. She also writes a weekly column with her
daughter Francesca Serritella for the Philadelphia Inquirer titled "Chick Wit" which is a witty and fun take on
life from a woman's perspective. These stories, along with many other
never-before-published stories, have been collected in four books including
their most recent, Have a Nice Guilt Trip, and the earlier, Meet Me at Emotional Baggage Claim, Best Friends, Occasional Enemies, Why My Third
Husband Will Be a Dog,
which has been optioned for TV, and My Nest Isn't Empty, It Just Has More Closet
Space. Lisa reviews
popular fiction and non-fiction, and her reviews have appeared in New
York Times, The Washington Post and The Philadelphia Inquirer. Lisa has served as President of Mystery Writers of America
and has taught a course she developed, "Justice and Fiction" at The
University of Pennsylvania Law School, her alma mater. Lisa is a regular and
much sought after speaker at library and corporate events. Lisa has over 30
million copies of her books in print and is published in over 35 countries. She
lives in the Philadelphia area with an array of disobedient pets, and she
wouldn't have it any other way.
Francesca Serritella was born in Philadelphia, and grew
up in its suburbs. She went to Harvard, where she majored in English. After a
year or two of feeling entirely intimidated by the place, she found her stride
and went on to receive the Charles Edmond Horman Prize and the Baron Russell
Briggs Prize for creative writing. Her senior thesis, a novella, won the Thomas
Temple Hoopes Prize, and she graduated with honors.
Her mother
is Lisa Scottoline. She's a bestselling author, her best friend, and her hero. Together,
they write a weekly humor column in The Philadelphia Inquirer called
"Chick Wit." She contribute once a month to offer a younger
perspective on their wacky family and life in general, and if you aren't an Inquirer subscriber,
you can find a selection of her columns here. The column has been
published as a series of collections of essays. The
first and the second, Why My Third Husband Will Be a Dog, and My
Nest Isn't Empty, It Just Has More Closet Space, have some of her essays
but not her name on it. The third, fourth, and fifth, Best Friends,
Occasional Enemies, Meet Me at Emotional Baggage Claim and Have a
Nice Guilt Trip, have her name on the cover!
Currently, she
live in New York City with her dog, Pip. When she’s not writing, she’s probably
taking cell phone pictures of Pip and marveling at how cute he is, so if you
want to see those, he has his very own page here.
