Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke have been best friends for thirty-five years and survived high school and college together. They’ve co-authored seven novels: Your Perfect Life, The Status of All Things, The Year We Turned Forty, the Amazon Charts bestseller, The Good Widow, Girls’ Night Out, The Two Lila Bennetts and How to Save a Life. Their eighth novel, Forever Hold Your Peace, will be published on July 11, 2023.

In addition to writing books, they created and host a popular podcast, We Fight So You Don’t Have To, where they talk about their ups—and especially their downs. Including sharing the brutal truth about the rejection they’ve faced in the publishing industry. They also appear monthly on a San Diego news station to share their favorite book club picks.

They both reside in San Diego, California with their families and several rescue dogs.
