Darlene Gardner's Bio

Darlene Gardner worked as a sportswriter for years before realizing she'd rather make up quotes than hope some athlete would say something interesting.

After writing books about festering small-town secrets and babies switched at birth, she had another realization: Writing romantic comedy would be a whole lot more fun. She's been concentrating on the lighter side of love ever since.

Darlene graduated from Penn State, grew up in the Pittsburgh area and worked for daily newspapers in Charleston (S.C.) and Fort Lauderdale. She now writes fiction full time and lives in Northern Virginia with her journalist husband and two children.
