B.L. Lucas writes spicy fantasy and paranormal romance that spirits you away to realms steeped in shadows and edged in enchantment where witchy women and haunted heroes save each other and their worlds.

The Touchstone, her debut novel and first book in a dark romantasy reverse-harem series full of found family, misfits saving the day, and bonded mates will be released in 2025.

From a young age, Barbara loved myths and fairytales, and she strives to capture their sense of wonder in her stories. Her perfect writing space is full of crystals, tarot cards, candlelight, the scent of apples, and the sound of rain. When not reading or writing, she loves roleplaying games, puzzles, planning, journalling, and exploring new places (especially museums, castles, and cemeteries).

She’s an enthusiastic writer of spicy fanfiction and a nerdy girl who saw Fellowship of the Ring 35 times in the theatre (Yes, really.) and believes Henry Cavill is the one true Witcher (and Superman). She loves custard but believes vanilla belongs in desserts, not in the bedroom.

A friend once called Barbara “creepy but loveable,” and she considers that the best compliment ever.
