Liisa Eyerly

Liisa Eyerly’s debut novel Obedient Unto Death is the first in the Ancient Ephesus mystery series. The series adds a fascinating Christian twist to the historical mystery genre of the first-century Roman empire. When a scribe is murdered during an outlawed Christian worship service, an innocent bishop is arrested for the crime. Sabina, believing sinister forces are working to destroy the fledgling Christina faith, races to save him from imminent execution. Mystery, intrigue, and betrayal meet her at every turn. Liisa grew up reading between the lines and trying to predict the ending of her favorite books. Who-done-its and their tantalizing bread crumb clues became her favorite genre. Her transition from reading mysteries to writing them was a forty-year journey, interrupted by teaching, motherhood, owning a small business, graduate school, a second career as a librarian, retirement, travel, and finally getting serious about writing. She resides in the woods of northern Wisconsin with her husband, two dogs, two kayaks, and long winters conducive to writing.

I kept turning the pages into the night even after my eyes were burning. Readers of such Biblical fiction like that of Connilyn Cossette, Lisa Tawn Berggren, and Barbara Britton will definitely want to take note.
