Lisa E. Betz worked as an engineer, substitute teacher, and play director before becoming an award-winning mystery writer. She brings her analytical mind, quirky humor, and positive outlook to all she writes.

She draws inspiration from thirty-five years of leading Bible studies to create entertaining mysteries set in the world of the early church, and then she fills that world with eccentric characters, independent females, and an occasional sausage-snatching cat.
Her debut mystery was named Golden Scroll Novel of the Year for 2021.

In addition to writing novels, Lisa blogs about living with authenticity and purpose.
