Luna thus draws a gripping storyline of primal terror led by two fine characters. Like with the classics, there is a sharp and fast repartee between the lead Vega and Caplan that shows that two heads are more effective than one. Similar to the way Jack Reacher had Frances Neagley, Sherlock Holmes had Watson and Don Quixote had Sancho, her lead character Vega finds the helper in Max Caplan. Just like with many of her contemporaries, Louisa Luna models her “Alice Vega” series on the classics. Her other novels include “Serious As A Heart Attack,” “Crooked” and “Brave New Girl.” She currently lives with her husband and daughter in Brooklyn.
While she looks back to her initial three failures, she believes the Vega series is a better representation of her abilities as an author. 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. Given her initial struggles, she lost her confidence in her abilities and did not write for a while. Her first novel did okay but the second and third were not as successful. As a budding twenty-something year old, she published three fiction works in the modern noir genre. Luna’s story to publication was a long one since it started when she was in her twenties. 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. Louisa Luna is a literary fiction, thriller and mystery author from San Francisco.
