About the Author
Dallas Smith is a queer and neurodivergent author of the new contemporary romance novel Queried Sick. A former forensic scientist, Dallas has always loved to tell stories, whether through science and evidence, on the stage in her community theater, or now as a contemporary romance author. She strives to write the type of stories she wants to read—ones with heart, humor, and meaning in which anyone can see a part of themselves represented.
Dallas lives just outside Washington, D.C., with her husband and two cats. When she’s not writing romance, she loves dressing up for her local renaissance festival, attempting to take care of her house plant collection, and channeling her inner grandmother with a cup of tea and a crochet project.
“No matter how troubled a character’s history, romance novels tell us, love can be built upon it, and happily-ever-after can result.”
– Sarah MacLean
