Lisa Williams Kline is the author of Ladies’ Day (CamCat Books), Between the Sky and the Sea (Dragonblade), The Ruby Mirror (The Bridge), and ten novels and a novella for young readers.

A new adult novel called The Bristlecone Writers’ Group is forthcoming from Harpeth Road Press in 2026. Her work has appeared in Literary Mama, Skirt, Sasee, Carolina Woman, moonShine review, The Press 53 Awards Anthology, Sand Hills Literary Magazine, and Idol Talk, among others.

She attended Duke University, and received her MFA from Queens. She lives with her veterinarian husband, a cat who can open doors, and a sweet chihuahua who has played Bruiser Woods in Legally Blonde: The Musical. She treasures frequent visits with her daughters and their husbands.

"Kline has a gift for writing complex characters and creating stories with a beating heart." -Emily Smith Pearce, author of Isabel and the Miracle Baby and Slowpoke

"Kline has adroitly combined all the ingredients of a heartfelt coming-of-age story with an enticing mystery--and there's plenty of humor and poignant life lessons baked right in." - John J. Bonk, author of Madhattan Mystery

 

"This funny, gentle and compassionate story feels fresh, thanks to appealing, closely observed characters, both major and minor, and a compelling setting."

-Kirkus Reviews/Summer of the Wolves

 

"Put simply, Kline is a fabulous storyteller. It’s no surprise that she is a highly-acclaimed author and a recipient of the North Carolina Juvenile Literature Award for Eleanor Hill. Her writing is smart and engaging with a sense of urgency that keeps the reader turning the pages."

-The Christian Manifesto
