Guest Post and Amazon Gift Card Giveaway: Super Spies and the High School Bomber by Lisa Orchard

Welcome back to author Lisa Orchard.

Lisa Orchard grew up loving books. Her debut novel “The Super Spies and the Cat Lady Killer,” is a suspenseful thriller about young girls thrust into a situation and the choices they make. The setting is Harrisburg, a small town in Michigan, much like the town where Lisa grew up. Many of her characters’ adventures stem from her exploits as a young teen. After graduating from Central Michigan University with a Marketing Degree she spent many years in the insurance industry, pining to express her creative side. The decision to stay home with her children gave her the opportunity to follow her dream and become a writer. She currently resides in Rockford Michigan with her husband, Steve, and two wonderful boys. Currently, she’s working on the second novel that stars the same quirky teens, and she hopes to turn the Super Spies into a series. When she’s not writing she enjoys spending time with her family, running, hiking, and reading.


Hello everyone! My name is Lisa Orchard and I’m a young adult author and Kathy has given me the privilege of guest blogging today. I’d like to thank her for giving me the opportunity to be here. Thanks Kathy!

My second book in my Super Spies series is being released tomorrow! Whoo Hoo! I’m so excited! It’s titled “The Super Spies and the High School Bomber”. My first book is titled “The Super Spies and the Cat Lady Killer” and it’s on sale for $.99! 




People have asked me where I get my ideas for my books and I have to say a lot of them come from real life events. For example, in my first book the story evolved from my own exploits as a teen. J Of course, they’re greatly embellished! I did want to be a detective when I was younger, but I certainly didn’t investigate a murder!

For the second book, I took a look at the world around me and I happened to come across some information on Columbine.  Suddenly, I had an idea for my second story in the Super Spies series.

The world is full of events that we can glean inspiration from, and while some of them are horrific we can certainly learn from them. That’s one of my goals with my stories, to make readers more aware of the causes of some of these events. So check out my new series and let me know what you think! I’d love to hear from you!

The Super Spies and the High School Bomber
This book opens in a small town in Michigan where Sarah and her sister Lacey are now living with their Aunt and Uncle. Still reeling from the fact her parents have disappeared, Sarah starts the school year with her new friend Jackie Jenkins. When Sarah learns the school has been bombed, she’s filled with dread. Uncle Walt is a teacher, and he was in the school when the bomb exploded. Taking matters into her own hands, Sarah decides to search for him. The rest of the Super Spies are right behind her. When a fireman chases them away from the school, Sarah becomes suspicious. She decides to investigate. The FBI arrives on the scene. Sarah realizes this bombing could have even bigger implications. Searching for the bombers, Sarah is introduced to the world of terrorism. She fears that the bombing and her parents’ disappearance are connected and terrorists are involved. To make matters worse, the bombers are determined to finish the job. Can the Super Spies find the bombers before it’s too late?
