'And then what happens?'

 

“There's a village in my computer - friends, fans, readers, and colleagues. It's a populous, sometimes chaotic little burg always bustling with news, gossip, opinions and potential excitement.” – Lisa Unger

 

Born in Connecticut on April 26, 1970 Unger spent her elementary school years in The Netherlands before returning to the U.S., and eventually moving to New York City where she worked in publishing for 10 years before diving into a full-time and award-winning writing career.   

 

Today she is an international bestselling author of 23 novels – primarily psychological thrillers – on the market in 26 languages, her most recent being Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six and The New Couple in 5B.

Also a successful essayist, Unger's writings have appeared in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal and (with her narrating) on National Public Radio. Unger says she loves writing just to see where each story is going to take her.   

 

“I write for the same reason I read, to find out what's going to happen,” she said.  “I don't think of my characters as people I create, I think of them more as people I have met and whom I'm exploring on the page.”
