Lisa Renee Jones's Inside Out series debuted in the Amazon top 40 within the first 10 days of release. Who knew that a small, musty journal forgotten in a storage locker would be the inspiration for a bestselling series of books, TV buzz, and legions of fans counting the days until the next installment?

Jones is a powerhouse literary entrepreneur. Her self-published Tall, Dark & Deadly series spent 10 weeks on the USA Today bestseller list and eight weeks on the New York Times and sold 300,000 copies. Jones released If I Were You, the first book of the Inside Out series, herself for 10 days before Gallery/Simon & Schuster took it over. The reception by fans was overwhelming.

Now Jones is teaming up with StorageTreasures.com, co-founded by Dan and Laura Dotson, stars of A&E's Storage Wars, to present the exclusive thrilling and chilling serialized mystery Behind Closed Doors: An Inside Out Novella. Each exciting installment will appear once a week through June and July 2013 on the storage and auction omnibus site and draw fans into the Inside Out world.

The eagerly awaited second installment of the Inside Out series, Being Me, will be released today, June 11, 2013 by Gallery Books. It's the continuing story of Sara McMillan, an ordinary high school teacher with an uneventful life whose surprise acquisition of a storage unit key leads her to discover the journals of a woman she never met. Riveted by the journal writer's erotic adventures, Sara begins to obsess until she takes steps that lead her to living out the other woman's life. But the writer's path is dark and the men Sara meets are darker still-can she solve the riddle of what happened to the writer before she meets the same fate?

The author of more than 30 best-selling novels, Jones has impressive roots in the business world as the owner and CEO of a multi-state staffing agency that was consistently recognized by The Austin Business Journal and Dallas Women magazine and grossed up to $16 million in sales. In 1998 her company was listed seventh in a list of fastest growing women-owned businesses by Entrepreneur magazine. She has brought this aptitude to the business of marketing her novels to create a smashing success using social media.

Her publishing career began in 2007 and has grown to encompass her successful self-publishing career as well as more than 30 books with Simon & Schuster, Avon, Kensington, Harlequin, NAL, Berkley and Elloras Cave. For more information, visit: www.lisareneejones.com.
