2019
Lisa Jackson (born Susan Lisa Jackson) was born in 1952 in Oregon, United States. Jackson and her sister, Nancy Bush, grew up in a small timber town in the state of Oregon.
Lisa Jackson attended Oregon State University.
Lisa Jackson began writing romance novels as a way out of babysitting for a living; her first novel, A Twist of Fate, was published less than two years after she and her sister decided there had to be a better way to make a living. In a career that began in the early 1980s, she has published over seventy titles, working in historical romance and suspense and thriller romance genres. Though many of her early books are straight contemporary or historical romance titles, later books have focused more on suspense and crime and have reached mainstream best-seller lists. Born and raised in Oregon, Jackson sets many of her titles in that northwestern state. She also tends to write novels that work together in pairs, such as Hot Blooded and Cold Blooded, featuring a pair of detectives, Bentz and Montoya, working in New Orleans, or The Morning After and The Night Before, set in Savannah, and featuring two other detectives, Reed and Morrisette.
The 2001 Hot Blooded initiates Jackson’s pairing of detective novels. New Orleans Police Detective Rick Bentz pursues a killer whose victims seem to be mainly prostitutes, but his case takes an unlikely turn when a local psychologist and radio talk-show host, Dr. Sam (short for Samantha), starts to get threatening calls from this serial murderer. Bentz is not sure that the new leads will take him to his killer, but he works on instinct in what Harriet Klausner, writing for All Readers.com, called “an exciting romantic suspense tale with a strong emphasis on the suspense.” In the 2002 sequel, Cold Blooded, a woman with second sight “witnesses” several gruesome murders and then must convince Bentz and his sidekick Ruben Montoya that she has had visions of actual murders in New Orleans. Klausner called Cold Blooded “an exciting serial killer thriller” in her AllReaders.com review and went on to praise Jackson for presenting “fans of serial killer plots, police procedurals, and romantic suspense with an entertaining tale.” A critic for Publishers Weekly noted that though some readers would be put off by the “graphic detail” of the crimes, “others will be intrigued by Jackson’s portrayal of the grotesqueries that result when faith and family are perverted.”
Jackson co-wrote Most Likely to Die with fellow romantic suspense novelists Beverly Barton and Wendi Corsi Staub. The story revolves around a twenty-year high school reunion that seems to have inspired some rather horrific revenge, as a series of brutal murders takes place. Three of the classmates, Rachel, Kristen, and Lindsay, team together to determine who the killer is before he or she can take any more lives. The book was less warmly received than Jackson’s solo work. A reviewer for Publishers Weekly found the plot similar to a number of recent popular horror/slasher films and observed that “unfortunately, the authors don’t do very much to keep the identity of the murderer hidden from the reader.”
Lisa Jackson received the Rendezvous Rosebud Award for her novel titled Shiver, and her other novel, If She Only Knew, was a finalist for the Reviewer's International Organization Dorothy Parker Award for Excellence for Best Suspense Novel. Jackson has been nominated twice for Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Awards, winning in 2005 in the Best Medieval Romance category for Temptress.
