Welcome! I’m thrilled you’ve come to my website for a visit. Please make yourself comfortable and enjoy browsing through the pages.

I’m asked quite often why I write. I write because I enjoy it. Creating characters and plots is something each of us begins when we are small children using our imaginations with dolls, stuffed animals, video games, and a variety of other toys and games. I simply never got over it. Fiction is an escape from reality, both for me and for most fiction writers and readers. Simply put, I write to entertain myself and my readers.

Finding the time to write is probably the most difficult part of being an author, especially for those of us attempting to do so while remaining in a full-time job and raising a family. Although I’ve written most of my life, it wasn’t until my children were grown that I found the time to get serious about it, and even now it requires several sleepless nights to accomplish my goals. My advice to anyone wanting to be a writer is make an appointment with yourself to write at a certain time, the same as any other job, and keep that appointment! Also, join a writers group and take writing classes. The craft of writing requires constant honing, the same as any other talent. Try several groups to find the best fit for you and your genre. If a group inspires you to rush to your computer to write, you’ve found the right one.

Thank you for visiting my site. I invite you to read excerpts of my books shown below.

Air of TruthCoverAir of Truth: In Liggan’s newly released novel, Air of Truth, a sequel to Heir of Deception, the family saga continues.

Praise for Air of Truth:

“There are a lot of people out there writing suspense, but precious few could start with flying saucers and military conspiracies, mix in a heart-tugging romance, and end up with a story that keeps you on the edge of our seat. Joanne Liggan does just that in Air of Truth. In her latest novel, Liggan brings us believable characters and then makes us sweat and shiver alongside them to get to the bottom of this sometimes chilling, always exciting tale.”
Austin S. Camacho, author of the Hannibal Jones mystery series

“The twists and turns in this novel will keep you engrossed right into its surprising conclusion. Air of Truth is well-titled, as Liggan drives home the adage that things are seldom what they seem...”
Connie Lapallo, author of Dark Enough to See the Stars in a Jamestown Sky


"Okay, to the beach we go." He drove along another straight, flat road. "I’m taking you to a place called White Sands. It's miles of nothing but white sand, two hundred and nineteen square miles of it. It's bigger than any beach I've ever seen, and a great place for... read more here!
 

Heir of Deception CoverHeir of Deception: Based on the fact that our actions have far-reaching consequences, Heir of Deception is the beginning of a family saga trilogy. Rachel Brittain’s life, by no fault of her own, is turned upside down by things her parents did before she was even born; things that seemed harmless at the time, but came back to haunt her and threatened to destroy her life. Rachel is the heir of her parents’ deception, but there are others caught in this web of dishonesty—and one of them is willing to commit murder.

Praise for Heir of Deception:

"Deftly plotted and skillfully executed, offers a tantalizing tale of tangled relationships and tangled emotions. Joanne Liggan's outstanding debut novel definitely demands an encore."
John Conlee, author of The Dragon Stone and other tales of Arthur, Merlin, and Cabal.


Coughing, choking, gasping for breath. Drowning. Rachel fought the suffocating pain on her chest and heard screams in the distance. Then she awoke, but the nightmare remained. Breathing was difficult. Acrid smoke engulfed her nose and throat as... read more here!
