About the Author

AKA D'Elen McClain

I'm a police detective in a small Arizona town. I write about becoming a police officer in my 40's. Join my true-life adventures as I laugh and sometimes cry over my own antics. I'm also a grandmother who has been dubbed Princess Cop. Some days my tiara is crooked. I post Stories from Small Town on my blog. They are the stories which happen in between the Bad Luck books. I also write paranormal romance under D'Elen McClain. You can visit my world of Fangs at http://fangchronicles.wordpress.com
