Hi! My name is D.L. Sims. I was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I have always been an avid reader, but it wasn't until I was in middle school that I found I loved writing. I always had stories in my head but never knew what to do with them. In eighth grade, I fell in love with writing and creating new worlds, and since then I have wanted to be an author. My dream is to share the characters and worlds in my head with anyone who shares the same enthusiasm for fictional characters and escaping to new lands as much as I do. When I'm not writing, I usually read, drink tea, play with my dog, or look at antiques.

I write New Adult and Young Adult LGBTQIIA+ Fantasy and Romance.
