Lucinda Betts

Lucinda Betts signed with Kensington Publishing Corp. at the inception of their Aphrodisia line, which was launched January 2006. She received "the call" from Hilary Sares in April of 2005, and her first contribution ("The Bet" in the PURE SEX anthology) came out in June 2006. Her first single-authored anthology NIGHT SPELL came out in October 2006. In 2007, she had two releases: MOON SHADOW and THE SUPPLICANT. In 2007, she received the Galye Wilson Award for Excellence in Writing for her contribution to PURE SEX. The review sites Fallen Angels, Road to Romance, and Coffeetime Romance made her single titles "recommended reads." Romantic Times Book Reviews gave both of her single titles, MOON SHADOW and THE SUPPLICANT, 4-star reviews. She was also a 2006 PEARL finalist in the Best Debut Author category. She has three books coming out in 2008.

According to her website in 2007, Lucinda Betts writes romance because she loves exploring the internal battle strong women face when they fall in love--and her heroes always make yielding worth the trouble. Like all romance writers, Lucinda lives in a wind-swept castle with her handsome prince. They help each other battle ferocious dragons when not out surveying the Amazonian rainforests or the plains of East Africa. For excerpts and reviews, check out www.lucindabetts.com.
