Daphanie Austin

My name is Daphanie, and I’m so glad you’re here! Let me share a little bit about myself.

First and foremost, Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, and I love Him with all my heart. My faith is the foundation of everything I do, including my writing. 

I’ve been blessed with almost 22 wonderful years of marriage to my amazing husband, Jerry. Together, we have three incredible children and two of the most adorable dogs you could ever meet.

When I’m not reading or crafting stories, you’ll find me enjoying a variety of hobbies—everything from cooking and sewing to photography and listening to oldies music. Creativity fuels my soul, and I love bringing it to life in all its forms.

My passion for historical Christian romance began when I realized there weren’t many stories that combined the love, faith, and depth I craved. I believe romance should be filled with passion, but never at the expense of values. In my books, you’ll find deliciously hunky heroes, strong and feminine heroines, and truly vile villains—all without compromising Christian principles. Passion and purity were never meant to be enemies.

I know my style isn’t for everyone, but I write the kinds of stories I’d love to read myself. If you’re looking for an inspiring romance that sweeps you from grand, glittering ballrooms to the rolling prairies of Texas—and even the exotic sands of Arabia—you’ve come to the right place.

So, grab a cup of tea, settle in, and let’s journey together into stories filled with faith, love, and adventure. I can’t wait to share them with you!

Happy reading,

Daphanie
