D L AckleyBorn and raised on a farm in the middle of nowhere Ohio, D. L. started writing in an effort to convince his mother that his writing class was a waste of time. Somehow, that managed to backfire and six years later, he published his debut novel, The Lin of Harmony. An avid reader of fiction and poetry, D.
