D. L. Finn is an independent California local who encourages everyone to embrace their inner child. She was born and raised in the foggy Bay Area, but in 1990 she relocated with her husband, kids, dogs, and cats to Nevada City, in the Sierra foothills. She immersed herself in reading all types of books but especially loved romance, horror, and fantasy. She always treasured creating her own reality on paper. Finally, surrounded by towering pines, oaks, and cedars, her creativity was nurtured until it bloomed. Her creations include children’s books, adult fiction, and poetry. She continues on her adventure with an open invitation to all readers to join her. You can learn more about Ms. Finn at her website: www.dlfinnauthor.com , or email her ...more

It has a few twists they won't recognize...lol. This book is in the editing phase. I am, also, putting together a book that includes my poetry, my photography and a more personal story based some things I went through called: "No Fairytale--A Realty of a girl who wasn't a Princess and her poetry". I have been spending some time putting my "old" work on my laptop in between. I will be focusing on both children and adults. Looking at 2016 for releases for both and more to come!(less)
