C.J. Darlington is a successful American author of fiction, known for her captivating storytelling and well-developed characters. Her love for reading began at a young age, when she would frequently check out stacks of books from the library. By the time she was twelve, Darlington had already started dreaming of becoming a published author herself. This dream became a reality when her first novel, Thicker than Blood, won a national writing contest and was published.
Thicker than Blood went on to become the first book in the Thicker than Blood series, which also includes Bound by Guilt, Ties that Bind, and Running on Empty. Darlington has also expanded her repertoire to include science fiction, with the Jupiter Winds series, consisting of Jupiter Winds and Jupiter Storm. Additionally, she has written a children's fantasy novel, Alison Henry and the Creatures of Torone.
Darlington currently resides in Pennsylvania, where she shares her home with her family, a menagerie of dogs, a tabby cat, and a Paint mare named Sky. Her love for animals is evident in the care and attention she gives them, and they likely provide inspiration and companionship as she continues to write and create new worlds for her readers to explore.
