Biography

Lisa A. Moore | Where Folklore Meets Character Psychology

Lisa A. Moore is the award-winning author of literary fantasy and gaslamp noir, recognized as the Best New Fantasy Author of 2025. Her work explores the liminal spaces where ancient Celtic mythology meets the grit of modern psychological noir, creating worlds that are as atmospheric as they are intellectually haunting.

Known for her "Selkieverse" and the fog-drenched landscape of "Nocturne Alley," Lisa’s 5-star rated novels—Whispers of the Selkie and The Bet in Nocturne Alley—are celebrated for their psychological depth and their unflinching look at the "cost of magic."

Based in Chicago, Lisa draws inspiration from the city’s gothic architecture and urban shadows, weaving them into stories of maritime myth and moral complexity. Beyond her novels, she is a vocal advocate for intentional craft over the creative hustle, hosting "The Psychology of Craft" on YouTube, where she deconstructs the archetypes and shadows that drive our most compelling characters.

When the Storyteller sets down the pen, she is usually exploring the dark corners of the city or diving into the research that fuels her next gothic bargain.
