About the Author

There's nothing I love more than losing myself in a story. Oddly enough, I never had any ambition to be a writer. But I wound up in mid-life with a story that begged to be told. Not just any story, but a true story that rivaled any fiction creation. Through fictitious characters, the tale came to life in an intricately woven tale that encompasses four books. Not satisfied to stop with the books, I released music CDs of original music to match the time period of each story segment. In conclusion, to bring the story full circle, I published a book of poetry and art. I was done. Wrong!The story ideas keep coming, and I don't intend to turn off the creative fountain.

Editorial Reviews

"The author’s talent in making a memoir read like a fiction novel is phenomenal. Author Sikes has an innate talent as a storyteller, bringing the reader into her story and making one feel her emotions."

"As a reader I was thoroughly transported by this incredible love story into a world of drinking, country music, drugs and impropriety--the innocence of a young girl in love and the love of the man who is trying to protect her, even when he finds himself behind prison doors."

"The author writes simply and to the point in an easy to read style. I felt Darlina's pain, her love of Luke and his love for her. I felt like I was there with them. But I know I wasn't because I would never be allowed in a community bar like the ones Darlina experienced in small-town America."
