Delilah Devlin

Until recently, award-winning romance author Delilah Devlin lived in South Texas at the intersection of two dry creeks, surrounded by sexy cowboys in Wranglers. These days, she's missing the wide-open skies and starry nights but loving her dark forest in Central Arkansas, with its eccentric characters and isolation—the better to feed her hungry muse!

For Delilah, the greatest sin is driving between the lines, because it's comfortable and safe. Her personal journey has taken her through one war and many countries, cultures, jobs, and relationships to bring her to the place where she is now—writing sexy adventures that hold more than a kernel of autobiography and often share a common thread of self-discovery and transformation. 

Into the Darkness was inspired by Delilah's love for the literary heritage of New Orleans' dark side. She toyed with the idea of writing a series of vampire stories set in that city during the time of a great storm. In fact, she'd started submitting the story before Hurricane Katrina hit. While subsequent books will include details she has gleaned from reading about the recovery effort for that terrible storm, the characters and mystical events were dreamed long before New Orleans lay beneath the floodwaters.
