D. J. Wilson

Delores J. Wilson was born a coal miner's daughter in Morgantown, West Virginia. At age eleven, she moved to Tampa, Florida. Quite a culture shock from that little coal mining town. Her writing background consisted of being published in a neighborhood newspaper with her cousin at age twelve. It was full of neighborhood gossip. Thank goodness they were too young to be sued for slander. In junior high school, she wrote a few articles for the school newsletter, mostly food articles. Hence, the seeds for her love of writing and food were planted.
