Delphine McClelland was born in Statesville, North Carolina where her love and passion for books thrived and grew. As a child, she was known to bug her sister to read to her everyday day until she could read on her own. The many fairy tales fueled her wild imagination that later shaped who she was and how she saw the world. With each new book, she was taken on a new and exciting adventure all from the comforts of her own room. Books became her world.
As time moved on Delphine continued her love of reading while she found a new and equally exciting passion; bones and the study of human remains. This new passion led her to the University of Tennessee at Knoxville where she studied and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology. While at UT she had the pleasure of volunteering at the Forensic Anthropology Center where she helped process human remains. While chasing this new dream it seemed that she had put her books away until life threw her a curveball.
When she found herself displaced from her job and her mother passed away she thought what next. It was during this dark time that she once again found a passion for reading as an escape from the real world. Once again books took her own countless adventures that were created and designed by someone else. As life started to look up again a fellow coworker gave her the best idea.
He suggested that she stop living in others’ adventures and create her own. It was on the hills of that idea that she wrote her first adult paranormal romance novel. Dark Obsessions was a dream that she never knew she wanted but one that she fought to have. It was a labor of love and one that she credits her friends, coworkers, and family for. Without them all to push her this work of fiction would not exist at all.
When she is not working or writing Delphine can be found spending time with her family. She has two sisters who push her and encourage her every day and two brothers who have her back. Her dad is the best and her eight nieces and nephews light up her world. Her other hobbies include coloring, watching movies, reading of course, and rooting for the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday and the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. She also attends Throne of Grace Ministries.
