About Dayna
Dayna has been writing romance for more than twelve years. She began her career in Historical Romance, but felt a need to explore her love for paranormal and fantasy, and merge it with her romance obsession. T.V shows like supernatural, True Blood, and fantasy movies of the eighties like Willow, Red Sonja, Legend, etc. and (in the 2000's) Lord of the Rings trilogy, helped shape her imagination and the kinds of stories she dreams of telling.
During the covid lockdown, she discovered Chinese and Korean Fantasy/Historical dramas (shout out to Ashes of Love). Since then, she's been determined to see her own story come to life, celebrating all aspects of what makes paranormal and fantasy romance so enthralling.
Dayna lives with her husband, two kids, dog, cat, and two snakes, in Southern California. When not reading, writing, or obsessing over c-drama characters, she enjoys cardio bag kickboxing, cake design (and eating), and camping.
