Darci Hannah

Darci Hannah was intoxicated with historical adventure, both in literature and the real world. While still in high school she backpacked in the footsteps of the Louis and Clark expedition. Next, she donned the cap of a French voyageur, got in a canoe, and followed the northern route of the French explorer, LaSalle, as well as canoed across thousands of acres of northern Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and southern Canada--all for fun. She also delighted in sailing the Great Lakes and riding horses. In addition to wilderness adventures, Darci became a ski patrol and instructor at the age of sixteen, and the youngest person at that time to pass for Nordic Patrol. Today Darci can be seen hiking around some of Michigan's most remote lighthouses, reading historical fiction, laughing with husband John and their three adorable sons, as well as daily walks around the lake with loveable Spaniel, Barkley. She's a member of the Historical Novel Society, and belongs to various writing groups around Michigan.
