Dana Marie Bell

Dana Marie Bell wrote her first short story when she was thirteen years old.  She's now a USA Today best-selling author with Samhain Publishing (RIP, Samhain) and Carina Press.

Dana lives with her soul-mate and husband Dusty, their two maniacal children, an evil ice-cream stealing cat and a dog who doesn't understand the meaning of "personal space". She's been heard to describe herself as "vertically challenged" and loves video games like the Dragon Age, Mass Effect, The Witcher and the Fallout series. Dana also suffers from ankylosing spondylitis as well as fibromyalgia, and can be seen walking with a cane or tooling around in her mobility scooter. Her condition was the inspiration for Belle's hip injury in Steel Beauty.
