Radclyffe (real name Dr. Lenora Ruth Barot,[2][3] born 1950) is an American author of lesbian romance, paranormal romance, erotica and mystery. She has authored multiple short stories, fan fiction[4] and edited numerous anthologies.[5] Barot is a member of the Saints and Sinners Literary Hall of Fame[6] and winner of the Laurel Wreath, Beanpot, RWA Prism, Lories, Aspen Gold and Lambda Literary Awards.[7] She is a 2003/04 recipient of the The Alice B Readers Award for her body of work as well as a member of the Golden Crown Literary Society, Pink Ink, and the Romance Writers of America. In 2014, the Lambda Literary Foundation awarded Barot with the Dr. James Duggins Outstanding Mid-Career Novelist award acknowledging her as an established author, with a strong following, and the promise of future high-quality work.[8] Barot founded the LGBTQ publishing house Bold Strokes Books in 2004.[9] She has given many workshops on the craft of writing and in 2013, she founded the Flax Mill Creek Writers Retreat[10] where she offers both face-to-face and online workshops to authors at all stages of development.

Previously combining a full-time private clinic (where she worked as plastic surgeon) with writing books, Barot retired from medicine in 2005[9] to devote herself full-time to writing. Barot chooses not to type, instead using speech recognition software to write her books.[11]
