This is the perfect time to learn the secrets of writing. She has won numerous awards and has appeared on The New York Times and USA Today best-seller lists. She has sold more than 70 books and 40 short stories. She writes a combination of murder, mystery, and romance set in Montana. You can find many of her books at the Havre-Hill County Library that are available for checkout.

Daniels began her writing career as a newspaper reporter before moving on to write fiction full-time. She was born in Texas, but has lived in Montana since she was 5 years old.

Daniels was quoted as saying, “When I started out, my only dream was that someday someone would read something I wrote. I had no idea all the wonderful adventures that would be ahead, writing for both Harlequin Intrigue and HQN. I’ve won numerous awards and my books have appeared on The New York Times and USA Today best-seller lists.”

Hundreds of people have read and enjoyed her books, especially the references to places in Montana that they are familiar with.  

Everyone is welcome to this free program to meet and greet a famous Montana author. Check out her books at the Havre-Hill County Library. If you have any questions call the library at 265-2123.
