Delane Daugherty

Born in Hollywood and raised by an Emmy Award winner, Delane spent her youth surrounded by make believe and chaos. After earning her degree, she strapped a battered typewriter to her back and traded in all that stardust in search of some real-lifeadventures.

She got her first publishing contract at the age of 19 and has written short stories featured in anthologies, specialized fiction, and novels ever since. Having been clicking at a keyboard for most of her life, she's published both independently and with major publishing houses. Her writing has been used in national magazines and small journals. She's had her work featured on many websites in a variety of fiction and nonfiction categories, and has earned several award nominations, including a Hugo and Best Romance of the Year. In 2021, she won the prestigious B.R.A.G. Award.

While her writing crosses genres between literary fiction and romance, dark humor and even suspense, it proudly showcases a cast of diversity in characters' orientations and abilities-and has one central theme: her unwavering love of Hollywood.
