L Bailey Bastian

L. Bailey Bastian (Lisa) is a fiction short‑novel writer specializing in drama, suspense, and dark fantasy. Now on her seventh book, she writes for readers who desire a full, satisfying story but don’t have hours to spend reading. Her mission is to deliver woven plots with characters to sympathize with or despise, and to satisfy her audience that everything is tied together in the end.

“My focus is on writing good drama with just enough fluff to keep the story moving forward at a good pace.”

Lisa likes to keep her readers guessing all the way to the end with her signature twists that change everything. She achieved it with her debut, 'Winston’s Will', pulling readers into the minds of desperate characters who don’t always take the predictable path. She kept that rhythm with 'A Memphis Plot', and expanded her collection with 'LEAK', a dark‑fantasy trilogy.

Her latest book, 'Who Knew', launched in March 2026, revealing tension, fear, murder, and twists in a tale of organized retail crime.
