Ľudmila Battistella, known by her pen name L.B. Dunbar, is a bestselling romance fiction author who hails from Chicago, Illinois. She was born in Chicago and spent much of her childhood in the Michigan town of East Lansing before returning to her hometown. Growing up, L.B. attended Catholic schools from grade school to high school and went on to earn her degree at an all-women's college.
L.B. Dunbar is known for her USA Today bestselling romance novels, as well as her status as a number one bestseller in Amazon's Later in Life Romance category for her Lakeside Cottage and Road Trips & Romance series. She has a particular affinity for sexy silver foxes, second chances, and small towns, all of which are recurring themes in her work. Her signature collection, the #sexysilverfox collection, showcases these themes prominently.
L.B. Dunbar is a lover of flip-flops, sweet tea, and romance novels with a bit of heat. She shares her life in Chicago with her own sexy silver fox. Readers interested in staying up-to-date with L.B. can join her on Facebook at Loving L.B. or sign up for her monthly newsletter, Love Notes.
