With Lake Norman and Main Street Books both featuring in the series, Grant thought why not bring fans to Davidson to meet her and show them the sites where the story was based and created.
With over one million downloads to date, Grant plans on taking readers to The Soda Shop and Summit Coffee where she first penned the series. Along the way they will see other important places in Davidson that feature in The Lake.
Readers can meet Annalisa Grant between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. on August 5 at Main Street Books located at 126 S Main St, Davidson, NC 28036.
About the author:
Annalisa is the youngest of four children and the only daughter, born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. After graduating high school, she moved to Charlotte, North Carolina with her parents. This turned out to be a blessing since it was just a few short years later that she met her husband in the Film Actor's Studio of Charlotte. As she studied acting at the Studio, Annalisa was in several films and made-for-TV movies, as well as performed in local theater in both dramatic and musical roles. At one time, it was AnnaLisa's dream to be a professional singer.
Annalisa completed her undergraduate degree in Human Services at Wingate University and her Master's degree in Counseling from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. During her thirteen years in the Human Services field, Annalisa worked with children in group homes and foster care, and spent two years in private practice counseling individuals, families, and couples.
When her father was in a near fatal car accident in 2010, Annalisa's best coping skill turned out to be writing. Five months after the accident, when all the what ifs would not go away, Annalisa started writing Layla Weston's story in The Lake. She had no idea what she was going to do with the story. In fact, she wrote sixty-four pages before she told her husband what she was doing. By then it was clear that Layla had a long story to tell and there were multiple books on the horizon.
In 2013, after all three YA novels in The Lake Trilogy were written and she had let them sit long enough, Annalisa took matters into her own hands and self-published the titles within just a few months of each other. Received well by readers young and not-so-young alike, The Lake Trilogy has enjoyed breakout success, selling close to a half-million copies the first year.
Annalisa's publicist is Rick Miles of Red Coat PR, and she is represented by Italia Gandolfo of GH Literary. Annalisa has been married to her super awesome husband Donavan since 2001 and lives in Matthews, North Carolina with their two ridiculously beautiful children.
