Darla Luke spent her childhood lost in books or dreaming up wild stories in her head—sometimes both at once. If you’d told her back then she’d grow up to be a writer, she would’ve laughed so hard she fell off her bike.
After growing up in the concrete jungle of Southern California, she’s now living her best life on the family farm in Oregon’s beautiful mid-Willamette Valley. Writing is her happy place. She crafts twisty tales of mystery and suspense, always featuring bold, bad-ass women and making sure the good gals come out on top.
She shares her cozy writing space with Loki, a cat who firmly believes he’s the prince of mischief—especially when he’s parked on the keyboard mid-scene. Outside, a flock of opinionated chickens follows her around like she’s a mobile food machine, clucking their approval (or disapproval) as the muse strikes.
