Author bio

Lorie O'Clare writes romance with danger close by. Her books range from paranormal stories about werewolves, big cats, and other shape-shifters to romantic suspense built around investigators, bounty hunters, and people with old secrets to face.

She was born in San Diego in 1965. Her family moved often while she was growing up, living in several Midwestern states before settling in Kansas. That sense of changing places and starting over turns up often in her fiction, where characters are frequently pushed into unfamiliar territory and have to decide whom they can trust.

O'Clare graduated from the University of Kansas in 1991. Before her fiction career was established, she was a divorced mother raising three sons in Lawrence, Kansas. She wrote under the name Lorie O'Clare while also using the name Laurie Fitzgerald.

Writing became the work she stuck with.

Her earlier books often appeared in paranormal and erotic-romance lines. The Lunewulf novels build a world of werewolf packs, strict mating laws, and characters whose private choices affect the survival of their communities. In Tainted Purity, she shifts toward a bigger fantasy setup, following a woman who learns that her ordinary life is tied to a forgotten supernatural past.

Then came stories that mixed attraction with active danger. Tall, Dark and Deadly introduces a detective trying to make a safe new life for herself and her daughter when a murder investigation pulls her past back into view. The Bounty Hunters books follow the King Family Agency, where family members work risky cases and find that their jobs make emotional distance hard to maintain.

She likes a strong external problem. A killer has to be found. A threatened family member has to be protected. A pack or hidden community needs to survive a fight over power and old rules.

At the same time, her books make room for romance that is direct, physical, and often messy. Her couples tend to be stubborn people with responsibilities, baggage, and good reasons not to let someone get too close. That push and pull is a big part of the appeal, whether the setting is a South Dakota police investigation, a private bounty-hunting agency, or a supernatural community with its own laws.

O'Clare's work earned an EPPIE Award and a Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Award in 2006. Her short story “Love Me 'til Death” also appeared in the anthology Men of Danger, which became a New York Times bestseller.

Her bibliography covers a lot of ground, but the connecting thread is easy to spot. These are adult romances where desire and danger arrive together.

She has lived in Kansas with her three sons and two dogs, a Boston terrier and a beagle.
