Darlene Gardner worked as a newspaper sportswriter for years before realizing she'd rather make up quotes than hope some athlete would say something interesting. Since then, she’s sold nineteen books, most of them romantic comedies, to three different publishers: Harlequin/Silhouette, Dorchester Love Spell and Avalon. Within the Harlequin/Silhouette family, she's written for Temptation, Duets and Intimate Moments and will be writing for Superromance. Darlene, a Penn State graduate, lives in Burke with her journalist husband and two children.
