. Daco

What is the question asked most when introduced? Is Daco a family name? When given the opportunity to name his second child, Daco's father, a physicist who spent every day of his life pondering the Special and General Theories of Relativity, jumped at the chance of formulating her name. From conception to birth, she is both name and formula. Pronounced with a soft "a" and long "o", the name sounds a little French, but is scientifically based in a physics formula: The derivative (D) of acceleration (A) at the speed of light in cm per second (C) is equal to zero (O), where C is same in E = mC2. My father had a sense of humor; there is no change in acceleration at the speed of light, the speed of light is the fastest rate of speed we know of, now at least, so I guess that makes me the speed of light! Born at the Naval hospital in Bethesda, Maryland and raised in Wernher von Braun's Rocket City of Huntsville, Alabama, Daco Auffenorde holds a B.A. and M.A.S. from The University of Alabama in Huntsville and a J.D. from the Cumberland School of Law. She is a member of the Author's Guild, International Thriller Writers, and Romance Writers of America. When not practicing law, she spends her time raising two children and writing novels.
