Abigail Queen of Natronia Adelaide Voices Literary Award for Short Story FINALIST for 2018
From the moment Abigail is born, it is clear that any beauty she possesses must be on the inside. Abigail's face and body are deformed, so much so that the nurses cover her so she won't frighten the other patients. Bullied in school and shunned by the people of her village, Abigail nevertheless sees the good in life. Alone and isolated in her room, she anonymously writes tales of love and compassion. Despite being denied happiness because of her appearance, Abigail finds a special joy through her writing. Natronia's King Billwick is distressed. His son, Prince Phillip refuses to take his proper place in the kingdom. Hoping it will inspire the young prince, King Billick leaves a book of Abigail's fairy tales on the saddle of Phillip's favorite steed. Mesmerized by Abigail's writing, Phillip gains confidence and begins to take his rightful place as heir to the throne. Believing the unknown author of such wonderful books must be a beautiful lady, he commands the Royal Mandarin to find her. When the official fails in his quest, Philip undertakes his own search. In a twist of fate, Prince Phillip and Abigail discover each other. Their story is written in the chronicles of Natronia.v
Never an "A" student, Darrell perfected the art of hiding a novel behind a textbook. While his classmates labored over equations, Darrell sailed the seven seas, climbed mountains and fought in foreign wars, all within the confines of the hot, stifling classroom. In high school, his favorite room (yes, he did make it that far) was the library. There he devoured such books as Big Red and Lad of Sunnybrook, among others. To Darrell, an author's ability to transport his or her reader to another time and place made them larger than life.
After high school, Darrell embarked on the lofty career of mowing graveyards. Spending hours alone, he dreamed of what life would hold for him. In 1994 he decided to try his hand at writing.
As with most budding authors, Darrell didn't know how to write. Despite his talent as a vivid storyteller, his lack of attention in school left him with a lot to learn about the technicalities of English usage. Published in 1996, his revised version of Never Ending Spring was one of the first eBooks. An earlier version of it sold six copies. That same year Darrell began writing for a daily devotional titled "Call to Glory." Today that publication has grown to the point where it's considered the standard of daily devotions. According to its website, "Call to Glory" prints and distributes well over 30,000 copies per month.
Darrell's time continues to be divided between jail and prison ministry and writing.
