I am a freelance-writer living in Tallahassee, Florida, where it is ludicrously hot. My reviews, interviews, and articles have appeared in PUBLISHERS' WEEKLY, BOOKPAGE, the REVIEW OF CHILDREN'S LITERATURE, BREAK magazine, and you can't escape them on the web. I'm a Contributing Editor and reviewer for SF Site, a columnist for Spicy Green Iguana, and show up sometimes in DISENCHANTED, and the IT'S A MYSTERY NEWSLETTER.

DARKERS first published by Hard Shell Word Factory in August 2000.

DARKERS' wins the first-ever Dream Realm Award for best Cover Art, thanks to artist Denise Ruzich!

Winner of the 1999 Preditors & Editors Readers Poll -- Best Nonfiction article, "A Conversation With P.D. Cacek"!

Pick up a copy of DARKERS and hit me up for an autograph at a con; I'm soooo approachable. (This offer does not include stalkers.) I've already infiltrated the hallowed halls of Science Fiction Chronicle, SciFiWeekly.com, and BLACKGATE. Visit me online at http://www.hikeeba.com or lisadumond.com. Even as you read this, I am hard at work on a new novel, several short stories, and the usual deluge of non-fiction assignments.
