Darlene writes what she likes to read, which is page-turning-suspense, based on actual events in the world of fashion department stores, while never allowing the facts to get in the way of a good story.

I always have a hardback at my bedside, but get though a great many more audio books which I listen to on my 3 mile morning walks and at times when I am doing mindless tasks . However, for my bedtime enjoyment, I prefer to read page-turning stories with bit sized chapters. I also like to feel l am learning something about aspects of our world that I am not familiar (an insiders perspective). My most favorite style for reading and writing is that of a thriller--where the reader knows more than any given character within the story.

Darlene Quinn’s ‘Talking Fiction’ Legacy Will Continue On

Kathy Porter and Darlene Quinn

Kathy Porter (left) and Darlene Quinn (right)

One of Darlene’s last request from me was to please make sure Talking Fiction continues its work of helping authors. After the shock wore off, I accepted that responsibility. I am honored that Darlene asked me to keep Talking Fiction alive and as a source for helping budding and veteran authors. I will strive to fill Darlene’s unfillable shoes.
