Kate Carlisle’s path to publication was not a direct one. Carlisle sites an L.A. upbringing full of bad haircuts, 20 years in TV and time spent with a vineyard owning cult leader as some of the detours along her route. While avoiding studying in Law school, Carlisle rediscovered her love of writing and quickly dropped out to pursue her craft. One sunny afternoon, after leaving a salon her phone rang. It was the “Call”. Carlisle had two reasons to celebrate that day- not only did she become a published author, but also left with the best haircut she’d ever had. One Book in the Grave is the fifth book in the Bibliophile Mystery Series. With Avery Aames.
