Coming Soon
I’m thrilled to announce that one new writing projects is on the way!
I’m completing my first full-length novel—a story that’s been taking shape for several years. It’s a rich, character-driven tale woven with emotion, complexity, and a few surprises. The novel delves deeper into the themes I love to write about: connection, resilience, social history and the choices that define us.
Stay tuned for cover reveals, publication dates, and sneak peeks into the worlds I’ve been creating.

Make your way through the contemporary world with Lise Spence-Parsons in this collection of seventeen short stories. From ghostly tales to futuristic worlds, you'll be questioning everything by the time it's over!
Clean & Sterile - Shows how gentrification can have a negative impact.
Spaced Out! - Provides insight into the difficulty of managing someone with dementia.
A Natural Remedy? - Exposes you to the moral dilemmas of an imaginary epidemic.
Clause 8 - A futuristic story of self-indulgence and self-seeking ambition.
All the stories offered here hold meaning for the author, Lise Spence-Parsons. She hopes they allow readers to find new experiences in topics they may not have thought about before.
This is the second book of short stories from author Lise Spence-Parsons. This time out, we get to read twenty-one stories from several genres, including historical fiction, spy stories, romances and ghostly tales. Some are sad, some are funny, some are tongue-in-cheek. All are interesting and designed to make you think.
The Awakening - a story of a life revealed.
A Long Time Coming - how do people of differing backgrounds overcome all?
Manners Maketh Man - a sideways look at the rules of yesterday’s etiquette.
What We Did! - an island of writing that will appear, slightly modified, in my full-length novel, ‘The Remains of Men’.
A Family History - a different view of the circumstances we currently live under.
I do hope that you enjoy this collection, as much as I did writing and putting it together. Thank you for taking the time to consider my writing.
Vested Interests is a gripping collection of short stories that peels back the layers of human desire, ambition, and hidden motives. From quiet betrayals to high-stakes gambles, each tale exposes the surprising, and sometimes dangerous, choices people make when their interests are on the line. With sharp insight, wit, and unforgettable characters, Lise Spence-Parsons delivers stories that linger long after the last page.
Beyond the Window - Contemporary literary fiction exploring personal reinvention, life’s possibilities, and the quiet joys of self-discovery.
Filtered - A dark dystopian tale of control, rebellion, and the erasure of creativity in a future where individuality is outlawed.
The Label Maker - A modern gothic psychological horror story with folk-horror undertones and themes of memory, identity, and family secrets.
These seventeen short stories invite you to step into worlds both familiar and unsettling, where the ordinary often hides the extraordinary—or the sinister. I hope you will savor the suspense, the small details, and the quiet tensions as much as the shocks and revelations. My intention is for you to linger in these moments, to feel the unease, the wonder, or the bittersweet nostalgia, and to emerge thinking about the characters and their lives long after the last page is turned. Enjoy the journey, and let yourself be carried by the stories, whether they make you shiver, reflect, or simply marvel at the strange, intricate patterns of human experience.

Interesting collection of short stories
All the stories are short and easy to read. Many of them reminded me of the old television show, "The Twilight Zone." Others were thought-provoking. All interesting.
