Daria Defore has been writing ever since she was a kid, and vividly remembers that her first story was about getting a pet dinosaur from Santa Claus. Now she writes filthy romance instead. Daria's books are about losers doing the best they can. Her style is conversational and funny, and her writing inspirations range from Agatha Christie to Ernest Hemingway. She brings a love of place to her stories, and always strives to evoke a strong setting. She has a fondness for history and mystery, and you'll find elements of both in her work. Her work is often set in her home of the Pacific Northwest, as well as her adopted home of New York City. By day, she's a video producer and hosts two podcasts on tech and video games. She loves reading, cups of coffee in multiples of ten, and being bullied to write more. You can find her on Twitter @dariadefore and at Facebook.com/dariadefore.
