Louisa Luna
1977
Louisa Luna is a literary fiction, thriller and mystery author from San Francisco. She is best known for writing the Alice Vega series of novels that she debuted with “Two Girls Down” that was first published in 2018. Luna’s story to publication was a long one since it started when she was in her twenties. As a budding twenty-something year old, she published three fiction works in the modern noir genre. Her first novel did okay but the second and third were not as successful. Given her initial struggles, she lost her confidence in her abilities and did not write for a while. Slowly but surely, she started writing again and in 2012 she published her debut in the Alice Vega series “Two Girls Down.” The novel took three years to write since she was now a mother and had a full-time job. While she looks back to her initial three failures, she believes the Vega series is a better representation of her abilities as an author. Her other novels include “Serious As A Heart Attack,” “Crooked” and “Brave New Girl.” She currently lives with her husband and daughter in Brooklyn.
