Lisa Plumley
Lisa Plumley is the USA Today best-selling author of more than two dozen popular novels published by Kensington and Harlequin. Her work has been translated into multiple languages and editions, and includes contemporary romances, western historical romances, paranormal romances, and a variety of stories in romance anthologies. Her fresh, funny style has been likened to such reader favorites as Rachel Gibson, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, and Jennifer Crusie, but her unique characterization is all her own. Lisa lives in sunny Arizona with her husband and two children. In her free time she reads romances and research books by the dozen, practices yoga, and spends time with her family—hiking in the mountains and deserts of Arizona, visiting ghost towns and historical sites, and watching classic movies.

Selected Praise
"Lisa Plumley creates charming characters. Her books are a delight!" —Rachel Gibson
"Once again, the talented Plumley, whose books include Perfect Switch, proves that when it comes to writing romantic comedy, few do it better." —Booklist (starred review)
"You’ll fall hard for Lisa Plumley’s newest laugh-out-loud romantic adventure. Falling For April is fast, funny, and fantastic! A sure fire hit!" —Christina Skye, author of My Spy
"This is hilarious, nonstop screwball comedy with zany, lovable characters. Plumley is the equal and more of [Sue Civil-Brown] and [Rachel Gibson]." —Library Journal
"Sparkles with sassy, wise cracking, off-the-wall fun!" —Kasey Michaels
"Turning not-so-perfect, unlikely characters into romance heroes and heroines is Lisa Plumley's forte, and she once again delivers a zany cast who will make you laugh!" —The State newspaper
"There aren’t too many authors known for their consistent humor. Susan Elizabeth Phillips and Jennifer Crusie come to mind. Remember the name Lisa Plumley. Her humor is natural, never forced or contrived. If I wasn’t grinning, I was smiling." —The Romance Reader
