Lis has built a reputation for her ability to blend emotional depth with gripping narratives. And The Identity Enigma continues to showcase her talent for crafting stories that resonate on a deep level with readers.

‘Writing The Identity Enigma allowed me to unravel these complexities, and it thrills me to share this journey with readers.’
Lis also revealed exciting news about her next project during the launch. ‘I’ve made a start on the next book, with over 18,000 words already written. It’s going to be part of a series, which I’m currently referring to as a ‘forest, family saga.’
