Old-fashioned settings, unorthodox, remarkable characters

Welcome. I’m Lisa, writer of Regency and gothic romances. Delve into stories with eccentric heroines and heroes. Or, shiver at the souls who chose to return.

Welcome, friend

lots to read

Hey there

I'm Lisa

I’m Lisa Demers, writer of cozy & quirky romances where corsetry is involved. When I read, I adore plots that involve second chances, rags to riches, or overcoming great odds. Sometimes, I want to nibble on my nails as I root for the couple, other times I want my heart to beat less frantically.

I love writing about eccentric or fragile folk, faced with challenges and overcoming them as I root for their success. The curious or quaint or wacky among us deserve to have their stories written too.

'A smile broke. She saw teeth. “Come,” he held out his hands. She put a foot on the lower rail as his hands guided her over. Those arms made her feel safe and loved as he kissed her over the fence and into happiness.'
