ⓘ About L.B. Dunbar
In her teenage years, she made the decision that she would one day become an author but she was not so sure about what she would write. She always felt that she needed to write something outstanding and spectacular rather than just a touching and good story. Luckily, her husband supported her in her quest to become a full-time author rather than find another job, and the rest as they say is history. L.B. Dunbar’s novel “After Care” opens with a sexy silver fox meeting a survivor of breast cancer while on a vacation, and he might just be the cure she needs. On his part, Hank Paige is a former rocker that once had it all in fortune fame, and women but is now a recovering alcoholic.
