Lucy Score, a beloved name in romance writing, grew up in a family passionate about books. Her weekends were often spent exploring flea markets for hidden literary treasures, and her home was filled with shelves overflowing with books. At just 13, Lucy took a romance novel from her mother, a librarian, and it ignited her journey into storytelling.
Today, Lucy is making waves in the literary world with her latest book, Story of My Life, which kicked off her new series, Story Lake. She hasn’t just enjoyed success as an author; she’s also started her own indie publishing company called That’s What She Said Publishing, Inc., alongside her supportive husband Tim and her brother Dan. Even her sister Madison has joined the family venture, working on her mystery romance series.
Lucy is well-known for her ability to connect with her readers, creating a warm and supportive community both online and offline. "I’ve always yearned for belonging. Through writing, I found my place and my people," she said in a recent interview. She takes pride in her lively Facebook reader group, which she describes as friendly and welcoming.
Interacting with fans is one of the highlights of her career. Whether at airports or local restaurants, Lucy cherishes the multi-generational gatherings where grandmothers, mothers, and daughters share a common love for her books. "It’s incredible to be woven into people’s family narratives," she expressed.
Lucy’s writing journey began in modest fashion when her first novel, Undercover Love, was published in 2015. Eventual success came quickly when the marketing job she thought would serve as her safety net was taken away just as her second book soared to the top of the Amazon Kindle Store. "I was scared but turned that fear into motivation to succeed," she reminisced, noting how her unexpected setback pushed her to focus on writing full time.
As time went on, Lucy’s hard work paid off, and her name now appears on the New York Times bestseller list, with titles from her Knockemout series reaching No. 1. She continues to share her passion for storytelling with readers globally.
Supporting her every step of the way is her husband, fondly known as Mr. Lucy. Their strong, supportive relationship inspires her characters and their romantic journeys. "I want my readers to find that someone special who helps them discover themselves," she said warmly.
As she travels and speaks about her most personal book, Lucy reflects on the genre’s allure, which captures both the excitement of new love and the beauty of lasting relationships. “I enjoy depicting couples at various stages of their journey together,” she explained, emphasizing that true love often shines in the everyday moments of life.
Lucy’s dedication to her craft and her supportive family, both biological and chosen, demonstrates the power of romance novels to connect people. "It’s amazing that all of this began with a single romance novel," she concluded, proud of the community built around her stories.
