Lucinda Riley’s life has been a testament to one blazing principle: live as proof that the impossible can be done. A creator, survivor, and lifelong anomaly, she has never followed the world’s rules — she has rewritten them. Her journey is not a single story but a living library of epic tales written across continents, industries, and the very fabric of what is considered possible. From the high-fashion runways of Paris and New York as a Wilhelmina model to the high-banks of the Charlotte Motor Speedway behind the wheel of a racecar, Lucinda has embraced life with fearless intensity. She has walked on hot coals with Tony Robbins, sung before 8,000 people on a moment’s notice, and built businesses from the ground up — each venture a declaration of creative independence.
Now a distinguished University of Virginia scholar honored for her achievements in Chinese language and cultural arts, Lucinda continues to fuse East and West, tradition and innovation, art and technology. Her fluency in Mandarin and her studies in Chinese poetry and song deepen her understanding of resilience, beauty, and the hidden harmonies that bind all living things.
Lucinda founded Dragon House Press to give voice to stories too wild, too true, and too powerful to be contained — a sanctuary for authors who are, like her, anomalies, rebels, and visionaries. Her work is a revolutionary act of love, a call to arms for every soul ever told they are “too much.”
Lucinda Riley is not just writing books. She is igniting a movement — one story, forged in fire, at a time.
