Lori L. Foster is a best-selling American writer of over seventy romance novels as Lori Foster.[1] She also writes Urban Fantasy novels using her first and middle initials, L.L. Foster.

Biography

Lori L. Foster married her high school sweetheart after they both graduated Northwest high school in 1977. She did not attend college. They settled in Ohio, and have three sons (all born in the early to mid-1980s).

She held various jobs as a saleslady, a grocery store clerk, and a Procter & Gamble material handler before having children and staying at home to raise them. She became enamored with the romance genre several years later, when she was sick at home with pneumonia, and her sister brought her a bag of romances to read. Within two years, she had a desire to write romances of her own. Five years after that, she had finished over ten manuscripts and finally sold one. Her first published novel was released by Harlequin in January 1996. Her second book launched the Harlequin Temptation Blaze series, and several years later she was also chosen to launch the Temptation Heat series. Since then she has written for several single title houses, including St. Martin's, Berkley, Kensington, and HQN. Foster has written articles for a variety of publications and, in the past, had a column in RWR on editor interviews.

In 2007, Lori branched out into the Urban Fantasy genre using her first and middle initials, L.L. Foster. The second L.L. Foster book was named Amazon's Number One Editors' Pick in romance.
