Can you introduce yourself to my readers a little?
Hey there! *waving* I’m Lisa Kessler and I write Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy. (I’ve even published some horror short stories!)
I’m also a professional singer and music often weaves its way into my books. I love meeting readers so RT is always a highlight of the year for me!
I can be found at: Website | Facebook | Facebook (Night series) | Facebook (Moon series) | Twitter | GoodReads | Pinterest
Can you introduce us to the world(s) that you have created?
My Night Series (Night Walker, Night Demon, Night Child) is just finishing up this year. If you enjoy vampires and shape shifters, the Night Series is a bit of both. Night Walkers are similar to vampires but they’re descended from the Mayans. They each have a spirit animal and can shift into that animal at will. If you enjoy dark paranormal romance with high stakes, the Night Series is for you!
My Moon Series (Moonlight, Hunter’s Moon) revolves around a werewolf pack in Reno, NV. They’re very contemporary with alpha heroes and a strong family bond. The books have the pacing of urban fantasy and the heat of paranormal romance.
I also have a stand alone novel, Beg Me to Slay which takes place in San Diego and features a very hot Demon Slayer… :) If you loved the Buffy & Angel TV series, or Supernatural and Sleepy Hollow, then this is the book for you! :)
Will this be your first RT or are you a veteran? Any advice for those who are going for the first time?
I’ve been to RT 3 times and my best advice is leave yourself plenty of time for fun. My first RT I had this crazy color-coded schedule for myself and I scrambled to get to everything. Halfway through I realized I was missing out because I was stressed instead of having fun! LOL
So allow yourself to have a good time and don’t over schedule… :)
Are you speaking on any panels during RT? Are there any you are looking forward to or are planning on attending?
I’ll be busy at this year’s RT!
On Wednesday I’ll be dealing at a table during Entangles’ Candy and Spoons party… Super fun!
Thursday I’m on a panel talking about promoting your books and also on a reader panel to talk VAMPIRES! My favorite! LOL
And Friday I’m participating in the Team Vampire vs. Team Shifter! Since I have one series in each I guess I can play for both sides… :)
Is there anything in particular you’re looking forward to or experiencing while in New Orleans?
I’m hoping to sneak out for a ghost tour. If you’ve never been to New Orleans the ghost tours, voodoo tours and vampire tours are super fun!
If someone were wanting to meet up with you at RT, who should they look for?
I’m usually pretty easy to find and some days my dork flag flies higher than others, so follow the laughter… Life’s too short not to have fun, right? Hope to see you at RT!
The 2014 RT Booklovers Convention will be held in New Orleans on May 13th – 18th at the Marriott hotel on Canal Street in the historic French Quarter.

Thanks for having me on the blog!
Can’t wait to see everyone in New Orleans at RT!!!
Lisa :)
