• A collection of unexpected, sharp poems that reveal what it is like to be lost in the wilderness—searching for home, where preference comes up against some surprising conflicts, both inward and external. At 48, Bisbing starts backpacking solo in Montana—where nature humbles her. Wildness is different in Montana. She’s run across lion prides in Zimbabwe that looked tamer than her first grizzly sighting. She’s encountered gang members in Chicago flashing their firepower who look less dangerous than bearded men in the backcountry toting rifles. As a murder mystery author and the daughter of a renowned forensic scientist, it isn’t by mistake that villains linger in Bisbing’s work. She invites you to walk this treacherous path with her. Hit the pages like you’re stepping on the trail. See what’s tucked between the words in each poem, and find what she discovered out there in the wild and in a diner booth.

  • “The Price of the Repair is uncommonly raw, uncompromisingly honest, and quip and devastating in near equal measure. Bisbing’s collection spans landscapes literal and ethereal with the kind of fearless alacrity that left me both troubled and moved.” —Smith Henderson, NYT Notable Book winner and the winner of the 2015 John Creasy (New Blood) Dagger Award and the 2014 Montana Book Award

  • “This collection of short stories is lovely, fast-paced, and well-written. Each writer has a unique take on her topic, using humor mixed with description so authentic you'd swear you need to turn up the furnace to keep warm for Jennifer Bisbing and Clare Tallier's stories, or for Meradeth Houston's story, to jump in a pool to escape the wildfire. You'll enjoy getting to know the three female characters: one seemingly cursed with an unexpected super power she's learning to tame; one who turns the Bond trope on it's head; and one who struggles sharing her park with the summer "tourons" she has to save.” —Amazon Review

  • Told through the eyes of eight-year-old Josie Banks whose recently inherited psychic gifts meld science with the paranormal, Under the Pines is a fast-paced and surprising story of abduction, mistrust, and murder. Author Jennifer Bisbing intertwines her own 1970's childhood memories of life with a renowned forensic scientist into an authentic whodunit. Drawing on her father's career-which included forensic consulting on high-profile cases like the O.J. Simpson trial and JonBenét Ramsey murder, as well as the hit CBS show CSI-Bisbing reveals how one girl, powerful beyond measure, can derail conventional crime scene investigation.

  • “I read thrillers and suspense novels all the time, and it's hard to come across something truly original these days. Under the Pines is fresh, new, and totally full of surprises! Bisbing has a unique, original writing style that is so relatable and easy to read! I loved the plot and characters and surprising ending - it's one of those books one is sad to finish when it ends.” —Amazon Review
