Sarah Wisseman writes the Lisa Donahue archaeological mysteries. Sarah hadn't a clue that she wanted to be an archaeologist until she traveled to Israel right after her freshman year in college. There, she ate felafel, fell in love with Jerusalem, camped illegally on Masada, and spent a month at the excavation of Biblical Beersheba. Once hooked by archaeology, she returned to Israel for her junior year at Tel Aviv University, an experience that eventually inspired The Dead Sea Codex.
In her day job, Sarah is an archaeological scientist at the Program on Ancient Technologies and Archaeological Materials (ATAM) at the University of Illinois. Her research project on Egyptian mummies led to the first Lisa Donahue mystery, Bound for Eternity. There are now four books in the series, including: The Dead Sea Codex, The House of the Sphinx, and The Fall of Augustus.
Sarah lives in Champaign, Illinois with her husband and two cats.
