Seleste deLaney
Blasphemous Dispensator of Expenditures
From a young age, Seleste’s mom tried to steer her away from stories about witchcraft and monsters and spaceships. Fortunately, she tried to point her toward true crime—which is much scarier. Seleste found solace in the arms of vampires, werewolves, and demons. In no time at all, those true crime stories found their way into her own writing too and she embraced the mayhem. She’s published a short or two with no death, but as a trade-off considers steamy sex a requirement.
As Seleste deLaney, she’s published urban fantasy, steampunk, paranormal romance, and even a contemporary romance. The sex and death thing also bled into her other persona and, as Julie Particka, she writes young adult urban fantasy as well… and mobsters… and post-apocalyptic… and…
Using the scheming powers she learned from her villains—and heroes—she convinced Carina Press, Decadent Publishing, Evernight Publishing, and 1 Place for Romance to publish her devilish tales.
