D.K. Dailey has a problem: kind of like I see dead people but for writers. Good thing she fuels that creativity to build worlds and create people who do what she says—well, most of the time. She often says, if she wasn’t a writer, she’d be certifiably crazy.

Dailey’s writing journey started as a child when she began writing sci-fi short stories, a result of watching countless hours of Star Trek with her parents. With an inborn passion for telling stories, writing songs and poems, her hobbies erupted into a career path after she penned a play in college and then her first novel. As a writer of color living in Northern California, she’s immersed in a tapestry of culture and history that have consistently inspired and helped her pen numerous novels.
