Debbie Herbert

Debbie Herbert is an American author of romantic suspense and paranormal romance, with a catalog of more than fifty titles centered on Southern, folklore-inflected settings. She is best known for the Siren's Secret series, part of her Dark Seas line, which builds paranormal romance around mermaid and siren mythology, and for the Bayou Magic and Bayou Shadow Hunter books, set in a Louisiana bayou world of hunters and shape-changing protectors. Her Appalachian Magic series moves the same blend of suspense and folk-magic romance into a mountain setting, collected in an omnibus box set. Herbert's fiction consistently pairs a romantic-suspense structure -- threat, danger, and pursuit -- with regional American folklore reworked into contemporary paranormal romance.
