Daisy Loveless has always had a passion for writing. She started her first novel at age 12 (in 1991) on an old Tandy 1000 HX system. She sat for HOURS in her room that summer typing away at the built-in keyboard, keeping herself out of hey mom's hair. Later that fall, she printed out the first 'chapter' of the story to hand in for an English assignment. While she did receive an A on the assignment, her English teacher told her that some parts of the story were 'too risque' for a 7th grade assignment. WhoopsHer 2nd 'novel' was written on a Macintosh Performa/LC 475 system. She doesn't remember the name of the software used for it, but it was part of a desktop publishing suite. She wrote what would be considered a 'Mary Sue' in the literary world, using herself and 'characters' that she knew personally. She never published it, and sadly, never printed it out. She didn't think her school would have looked favorably at printing a story on their printers about their students in some of the situations mentioned.
After letting writing go for a few years as she concentrated on school, she 'picked the pen up' again in 1999, writing fanfiction in the wrestling fandom. She dabbled in other fandoms, but her 'most successful' genre was the wrestling fandom. For over 10 years, she wrote fanfics, starting with 1st-person 'Mary Sue' works, then transitioning to 3rd-person 'Mary Sue' works.
About mid-2013, she discovered Amazon's self-publishing program, Amazon KDP. After extensive research, she decided to throw caution to the wind and published her first book, 18 Wheels and 2000 Miles, in September 2013. Since then, she has published two more books and has been part of an anthology to benefit ASAN: Autism Self-Advocacy Network.
Daisy lives in Central NY with her best friend and their dog, Chase.
