Hello! My name is Darlene and I'm an aspiring romance novelist. I graduated with a BA in English with certificates in Creative Writing and Literature. I've been getting lost in books from an early age and that love for discovering new worlds has stayed with me long into adulthood. I love writing and have been filling up notebooks and Word documents, even scraps of paper, since I was fifteen. Love stories are my main focus with sub-genres in paranormal and contemporary, adult and new adult. If you happen to follow me at all, on any social platform, you'll know I've been on a bit of a hiatus. There have been times where I can knock out words fairly quickly but the past few years have been a bit of a touch and go, mostly dead-spell for me. Mentally, I just wasn't in a place to put anything out. Lately, I've been feeling like picking up where I left off... Just not necessarily in the ways I had thought I would. As I figure this all out, I wanted to come back to the platform that allowed me to self-publish the first time around before I made the decision to pull that publication. I'm now in the process of figuring out where to re-release it along with the second part. I've revamped my website: darlenechavez.com and am looking forward to what the future holds for me and the stories I've created.
