Lydia Michaels is the bestselling and award-winning author of more than fifty novels. She writes heart-clenching, unpredictable romance with dark elements and high heat. Her work is character-driven and bursting with broken heroes and badass females. With a sweet spot for overbearing, territorial types, her deeply emotional books are spicy, emotionally satisfying, and guaranteed to leave readers with many book hangovers. Lydia Michaels began her author career in 2007, quickly establishing herself as a recognized presence in the publishing industry. The Surrender Trilogy, her breakout series with Penguin Random House, shared many Barnes & Noble endcaps with fellow bestsellers Sylvia Day and EL James, boosting her career as a to-be-read newbie author. She has since been featured in national media outlets such as USA Today and Romantic Times Magazine, and has starred as a guest on multiple podcasts. Michaels continues to share her experience and knowledge with others in her field. She is the founder of the East Coast Author Convention, which hosted 500 readers and authors in 2019. She has been a spotlighted author and speaker at events such as the Women in Publishing Summit, Indie Author Conference, Skye Warren’s Romance Author Mastermind Conference, Jennifer L. Armentrout’s Apollycon, and, in 2025, Cosmopolitan Magazin will interview her at The Ripped Bodice in New York. Michaels has won multiple RONe Awards and honorable mentions, which has given her incredible courage to write significant stories that delicately address challenging topics such as domestic violence, patriarchy, and the #MeToo movement. She prides herself on keeping today’s romance readers intellectually stimulated, informed, and highly entertained. As the consecutive winner of the 2018 & 2019 Author of the Year Award from Happenings Media and the recipient of the 2014 Best Author Award from the Courier Times, Michaels continues to blaze a path in the romance community for deeply emotional romance that artfully confronts cultural challenges faced by women today. Michaels is happily married to her childhood sweetheart. Her favorite things include cooking Italian cuisine, hosting extravagant dinner parties, sipping martinis, listening to her husband play piano, and escaping to her coastal home on the Jersey Shore. She’s an LGBTQ ally, a BLM supporter, and a firm believer that the patriarchy must burn (women’s rights are human rights). You can follow Lydia on Instagram, TikTok, & Facebook!
