Lori Foster

(Lori L Foster)


aka L L Foster

Lori L. Foster was born on November 14. She did not attend college and married with her High School sweetheart. The marriage settled in Ohio. Sheheld various jobs as a saleslady, a grocery store clerk, and a Proctor and Gamble material handler before having the first of her three sons in 1981,after that she stayed at home to raise them.

Unlike many writers, Lori Foster never considered a writing career until shewas in her early 30s. In fact, she'd never even read romances until hersister once forced a load of them on her while she was down sick and unableto fight back. But it was a blessing she quickly took to, and before long,she was thoroughly hooked. It seemed a natural progression for the reader towant to write, so Lori penned a romance novel in longhand, strictly for herown entertainment. Once that was done, she borrowed a typewriter and startedanother. When she attended a local writers' conference and discovered thatnot many people had ever completed a book, Lori began to realize she mightactually have a talent for something that she absolutely loved doing.

It was only after writing 10 complete manuscripts that Lori made her firstsale to Harlequin in 1996. Her second book launched the Temptation Blazesubseries and since then she's continued writing at a prolific pace. Herbooks have appeared on the New York Times Extended, Waldenbooks, and USAToday bestseller lists. Lori also contributes to Writer's Digest Magazineand the Romance Writers Report. She regularly presents workshops to herlocal chapter and at various conferences, including RWA National.

Though Lori loves writing, her first priority will always be her family.She, her husband, and their three sons, all humorous, handsome, andhonorable fellows, are quickly following in their father's footsteps.
