Meet Verena DeLuca!
Verena DeLuca is a pen name for the life partner duo Sabetha Danes & NAK Baldron. When we’re not homeschooling our artistic daughter, we spend our afternoons arguing the finer details of books. Failing that, we can be found walking the many nature trails around our home.
Marble Falls is an actual tourist destination an hour west of Austin, Texas, that we’re proud to call home. While Aconite Cafe isn’t an actual coffee shop, it is the name of our publishing company. We love coffee nearly as much as Hailey, though we’ve been known to break the cardinal rule and drink tea.
Where To Read My Works:
Exotic animals, small-town murder, and romance.
What more can a girl ask for?
I love animals. It’s why I opened an animal sanctuary.
But when the sheriff called me to identify a fish, I had no idea it would lead to an investigation into the death of a college freshman.
Why in the world would he swallow a clownfish? Snorkel with me as I paddle through the evidence.
