Lara Adrian, a Michigan native and descendant of Mayflower passenger Governor William Bradford, resides in coastal New England with her husband, who serves as the inspiration for all her heroes and is her most devoted fan. The couple cares for two rescued felines who have trained them to surrender treats, tuna, and belly rubs on command.

She left a full-time corporate job to pursue her dream of becoming a published author. In 1995, Tina St. John sold her first completed manuscript, Lord of Vengeance, and has since gone on to pen several more acclaimed medieval romances. Though she was frightened of vampires as a child, she has overcome this fear and uses that early fascination to drive her paranormal romance novels as Lara Adrian.

Her stories weave fear, sensuality, and power into vampire romance fantasy novels. Today, she is well-known for the popular Midnight Breed series. She believes that “vampires as heroes in romantic fiction...are the ultimate bad boy.” Her books have been licensed in over sixteen countries, and she is a RWA RITA finalist and Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice award recipient.

Lara Adrian is a New York Times and #1 internationally best-selling author with nearly 4 million books in print and digital worldwide, with translations licensed to more than 20 countries. Her books have been named among Amazon’s Top Ten Romances of the Year and have also been nominated by readers multiple times as finalists for the Goodreads Choice Award for Best Romance of the Year. Reviewers have called Lara’s books “addictively readable” (Chicago Tribune), “extraordinary” (Fresh Fiction), “strikingly original” (Booklist), and “one of the best vampire series on the market” (Romantic Times). Writing as Tina St. John, her historical romances have won numerous awards including the National Readers Choice and Romantic Times Magazine Reviewers’ Choice.
