Darcy Flynn was born into the rich culture of New Orleans, La., a city filled with colorful historical intrigue and broad creative energy. Darcy’s natural bent to the arts coupled with her love for one of the most romantic cities in the world has been the inspiration and anchor of her artistic, multi-dimension endeavors. Darcy was always compelled by the need to express herself and like her mother’s famous gumbo, her previous expressions included a little bit of everything—art, music, acting, and dance.

Although published in music, art, and the Christian non-fiction and Homeschool market under her real name, Joy Griffin Dent, it was the empty nest that turned Darcy to writing romantic fiction which proves it’s never too late to follow your dreams.

Darcy, a former Mrs. Tennessee, continues to be surrounded by all things creative in Music City and when not writing in her Florida beach cottage, lives on a beautiful horse farm in historic Franklin, Tennessee, with her husband, son, and a menagerie of living creatures. Darcy enjoys stargazing, raising rare breed chickens, and gardening.
