Laying on a white sand beach in Cozumel, Mexico, Darliss began to question what she would do with her time since leaving her career in Information Technology. The answer came quickly as her first book was delivered as a divine download. Secrets was born ten years later and she hasn’t stopped yet. Her books, Hell is a Skyscraper: A Trio of Novelettes and Something Else to Want followed. Her next book, The Make-Believe Wives, will soon join her other book children. She also discovered another facet of her writing gift when she wrote and witnessed the performance of her first short play, One Simple Yes.
