Darynda Jones

Darynda Jones is the NY Times and USA Today bestselling writer of the Charley Davidson series and has won numerous awards for her work including a prestigious RITA®, a Golden Heart®, and a Daphne du Maurier. She has been a long-time NaNo participant and has written large chunks of several of her published novels during the month-long frenzy. NaNo has taught her a lot. How to keep moving forward. How to get the story down and edit later. She learned this so well, in fact, she once wrote an 80,000 word novel in 7 days. (Did we mention she’s a procrastinator?) Darynda lives in gorgeous New Mexico with her husband and two beautiful sons, the Mighty, Mighty Jones Boys. Read her NaNoWriMo blog post.
