The books of May are here—fresh, fierce, and full of feels.
Theresa DaLayne
A long time enthusiast of things that go bump in
the night, Theresa began her writing career as a
journalism intern—possibly the least creative
writing field out there. After her first semester at a
local newspaper, she washed her hands of press
releases and features articles to delve into the
whimsical world of young adult paranormal
romance.
Since then, Theresa has gotten married, had three
terrific kids, moved to central Ohio, and was
repeatedly guilt tripped into adopting a menagerie
of animals that are now members of the family. But
don’t be fooled by her domesticated appearance.
Her greatest love is travel. Having stepped foot on
the soil of over a dozen countries, traveled to
sixteen U.S. states—including an extended seven-
year stay in Kodiak, Alaska—she is anything but
settled down. But wherever life brings her, she will
continue to weave tales of adventure and love with
the hope her stories will bring joy and inspiration to
her readers.
Wow, Rachel. My eyes watered up reading your story. My husband has always been with me. I couldn't imagine a day without him coming home. The idea itself breaks my heart. It took an extraordinary amount of bravery, not to mention a rock solid emotional foundation in your marriage to do something so brave like that.
Has my gut ever told me to do something? It told me to marry my husband after only knowing him for months, it told me having kids with him was the right thing to do, and it told me to start writing almost eight years after we got married. All of the above were truly gut feelings I went with. I haven't regretted any of them, and I suspect, never will.
Life is funny, isn't it? You never know what will cross your path, who you will meet, what kinds of relationships you will form along the way, and who will mean the most to you when it's all said and done. I couldn't be happier than I am right now. So blessed. :*)
Also, I honestly can't think of anyone else I'd rather have as my editor. You never cease to amaze me.
