Luanne Rice has been writing since 1985 and has published over forty novels across women’s fiction, romance, and suspense. Her books are strongly tied to the Connecticut and Rhode Island shoreline, with settings like Hubbard’s Point and Black Hall appearing across multiple novels. The Hubbard’s Point/Black Hall series, starting with Firefly Beach (2001), spans seven books about families and relationships in a fictional coastal town.
In recent years, Rice shifted toward crime fiction with the Detective Conor Reid series. Last Day (2020) and The Shadow Box (2021) feature a Connecticut detective investigating murders that cut close to home. The Getaway series (2022) marked another departure, offering a serialized thriller. Her standalone novels, from Angels All Over Town (1985) through If Anything Happens To Me (2024), cover nearly four decades of storytelling about love, loss, and the ties that hold families together along the New England coast.
