As an architect and a car fanatic, Derain Collier has an enduring love for the built environment and of fast transportation. A life long obsession with cars has led him down a long, sometimes meandering path to being an author. Mostly it is his sudden craving for romance novels around cars (Hey, everyone loves a good love story here and there. Don't judge me.) He practices architecture, and car tuning, as a day job and by night, he continues to explore the various sectors of car culture and unconventional romance in a Not-Always-Perfect fictional metropolis Manzano Springs, New Mexico.
