Deborah Leblanc Books in Order

Where to Start Reading Deborah LeBlanc

Deborah LeBlanc's work is deeply rooted in her real-life experiences as a paranormal investigator and death scene investigator, giving her stories an eerie authenticity. Because her books span different styles—from fast-paced paranormal romance to dark supernatural horror—the best place to start depends on what you are looking for:

• For Paranormal Romance & Witchcraft: Start with the Triad Witches Series (also known as the François Sisters series). Beginning with Witch's Hunger (2017), this is a quick, engaging trilogy published under the Harlequin Nocturne imprint.
• For Cozy Ghost Mysteries with Southern Humor: Start with the Nonie Broussard Ghost Tracker Series. The first (and currently only) novel, Toe to Toe (2015/2018), follows a reluctant medium working at her family's funeral home.
• For Classic Supernatural Horror: Start with her debut standalone novel, Family Inheritance (2004). It is a haunting tale of a family tormented by generational spirits in a cursed house.
• For Collaborative Paranormal Romance: Start with The Keepers Series, starting with Heather Graham's The Keepers (2010), leading up to LeBlanc's contribution, The Wolven (2010).

Triad Witches (François Sisters) Series in Order

This series follows the François sisters as they navigate their supernatural heritage, romance, and dangerous magical threats in Louisiana. These books are direct continuations and should be read in order:

1. Witch's Hunger (2017) – Introduces the magical dynamics and romantic tension surrounding the sisters.
2. The Witch's Thirst (2017) – Expands on the family's magical burden and escalating dangers.

The Keepers Series (Collaborative Trilogy)

The Keepers is a collaborative trilogy written by three different bestselling authors: Heather Graham, Alexandra Sokoloff, and Deborah LeBlanc. The story centers on three sisters who belong to an elite order maintaining the barrier between mortals and the otherworldly. LeBlanc wrote the third installment, focusing on shapeshifter dynamics. It is best to read the trilogy in order to fully appreciate the overarching plot:

1. The Keepers by Heather Graham (2010)
2. The Shifters by Alexandra Sokoloff (2010)
3. The Wolven by Deborah LeBlanc (2010)

Note: LeBlanc also contributed the short story "The Fright Before Christmas" to the holiday anthology The Keepers: Christmas in Salem (2013).

Nonie Broussard Ghost Tracker Series

This series blends mystery, ghosts, and lighthearted Southern humor, drawing directly from LeBlanc's own background in funeral services and paranormal hunts. Currently, there is only one novel in this series, making it a perfect quick read:

• Toe to Toe (2015/2018) – Follows Nonie Broussard, a closet medium who takes a job at her family's funeral home and is forced to confront both the living and the dead.

Deborah LeBlanc's Standalone Novels

If you prefer self-contained stories, LeBlanc has written several standalone supernatural thrillers. These can be read in any order, though reading them in publication order showcases her growth as a writer:

1. Family Inheritance (2004) – LeBlanc's debut, featuring a haunted house and dark family secrets.
2. Grave Intent (2005) – A suspenseful thriller about a woman haunted by the spirits of murder victims.
3. A House Divided (2006) – A gothic tale exploring paranormal forces tearing a family apart.
4. Morbid Curiosity (2007) – A dark thriller dealing with obsession and supernatural phenomena.
5. Water Witch (2008) – Set in the Louisiana bayou, following a woman who can find lost things, who must rescue children from an ancient evil.
6. Voices (2015) – Also published under the title Ghost Box, this novel follows a grieving mother who gets involved in real-life paranormal investigation.

The Harlequin Nocturne Connection and Multi-Author Confusion

In local databases, many books from the Harlequin Nocturne line are sometimes listed under Deborah LeBlanc's profile. Harlequin Nocturne is a shared imprint featuring paranormal romance stories from many different authors. While LeBlanc contributed books like The Wolven, Witch's Hunger, The Witch's Thirst, and Witch's Fury to this line, she did not write the other titles in the collection (such as Erica Orloff's Blood Son or Lisa Childs' Immortal Bride). Readers should focus solely on LeBlanc's specific contributions to avoid confusion.

Non-Fiction and Workbooks

For aspiring writers, LeBlanc has compiled her productivity secrets into a practical guide:

• The Tinkerbell Effect: A Writer's Success Workbook on How to Write Multiple Books Per Year (2019) – A workbook offering advice on character creation, story outlining, and workflow organization.
