I like paranormal, and various fiction, fantasy, fairies, and oddly good Regency romances. Mysterious grandmother who gave Defiance the “haunted” house known as Percy (lots o’ personality in the house), Ruthie Goode is a lovely character. Sidekick Annette provides fun conversation. I’d like a bit more maybe but I’m okay with it. But the romantic moments are good and very, well, romantic and surprisingly very, Uber lightly steamy. This series is surprisingly “clean” despite romantic interest with a the kilt wearing man named Roan. Somehow in a new town with an old house and strange goings on. Except for Midlife something or other, which is kind of similar actually. Either too much talk of how out of shape, or too much spite about the ex, etc. So far this “sub-genre” has been a no go for me. Darynda currently lives in New Mexico, with her husband of almost 30 years and two beautiful sons, the Mighty, Mighty Jones Boys.At first I was afraid when I saw the main character, Defiance, was in her 40s, recently divorced and broke. Martin's Press, the Charley Davidson Series and the Darklight Trilogy. Little by little her desire to write kept growing inside her, so after several turned down attempts, she won numerous awards for her work, including a prestigious RITA, a Golden Heart, and a Daphne du Maurier. Darynda moved back to her home town and worked 3 jobs mostly teaching at a local college and interpreting pretty much everywhere. She decided to go back to school while in Albuquerque and ended up graduating Summa cum Laude from the University of New Mexico with a degree in Sign Language Interpreting. Her oldest son was born deaf, so when he was 5 years old, she moved to Albuquerque to enroll him into a Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program.
After graduating from school, she married her “rock star” and had two beautiful sons. She grew up spinning tales of dashing damsels and heroes in distress for any unfortunate soul who happened by. Even as a young child, NY Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Darynda Jones loved writing.
