Brianna Wilbur Photography presents Bloom Books featuring Lucy Score and her latest release ‘Story of My Life’. For Lucy, books have always been a cherished part of her family life. She fondly remembers weekends spent browsing through used book stands at flea markets with her family and the overflowing bookshelves at home, including those in the laundry room. At the age of 13, she borrowed a romance novel from her librarian mother, sparking her lifelong love for romantic fiction.
Lucy, now a bestselling romance author, has recently launched her new book ‘Story of My Life’, the first installment in the Story Lake series on March 11. She has established her independent publishing company, That’s What She Said Publishing, Inc., with the support of her husband Tim and brother Dan. Not stopping there, she has also encouraged her sister Madison to pen her own mystery romance series, showcasing Lucy’s passion for uplifting fellow authors.
Beyond her writing, Lucy is known for fostering a sense of community among her readers and fans worldwide. She values the connections made through her books, online reader group, and in-person interactions at various events. Meeting readers of all ages, from different generations, brings her immense joy and reinforces the impact of her stories on families.
Lucy’s journey as an author began with her novel ‘Undercover Love’, which gained recognition in 2015 through indie publishers. Despite facing setbacks like losing her marketing job just as her second book hit No. 1 on Amazon Kindle Store, Lucy persevered and turned her passion into a successful writing career. Her dedication and resilience have led her to live her dream of being a full-time writer, inspiring readers around the world with her captivating tales.
She authored three more books within the following year and made the decision to pursue a career as an independent author. In 2022, she secured a print-only contract with Bloom Books in the U.S. and a UK deal with Hodder & Stoughton. Her work “Things We Never Got Over” became her first title to reach the New York Times bestseller list, and the subsequent two books in the Knockemout series propelled her to instant No. 1 New York Times bestseller status.
Today, she is living out her dream alongside her supportive partner, Mr. Lucy, who has been a source of inspiration for her romantic tales for nearly 16 years. Reflecting on their solid and happy relationship, she aims to help her characters find similar deep connections, fostering personal growth as both an individual and an author.
As she engages with readers nationwide about her most intimate book to date, she believes that the appeal of romance lies in capturing the excitement and stability found in relationships, much like her affinity for Taco Bell’s Doritos Locos tacos at the moment.
Exploring the essence of love on paper and assisting fellow writers in doing the same are endeavors she plans to continue. She expresses pride in building her literary world alongside her supportive community, emphasizing how her journey began with a single romance novel. “Story of My Life” is now accessible for purchase in all major bookstores.
