Darrell Case

Darrell Case's journey as a writer is a unique and inspiring one. It all began with a postcard from a phony literary agent, Jones, who requested Darrell to send in a manuscript, despite him never having written a book before. This incident, although a result of fraud, sparked a dormant passion within Darrell that he had harbored since high school. Motivated by the postcard, Darrell started waking up early at 5 a.m. to write. Two years later, in 1996, he completed his first novel titled "Never Ending Spring." Despite facing numerous rejections from publishers, Darrell's wife Connie provided unwavering support and encouragement, urging him to persevere. Darrell continued writing, and his dedication paid off. In 2020, his novel "Never Ending Spring" was recognized by the Author Elite Awards as the best mystery of the year, validating Connie's faith in his writing abilities. However, Darrell faced a significant loss when Connie passed away in July 2021. Following her passing, he decided to retire from his 40-year career in jail and prison ministry and focus on writing full-time. In the spring of 2022, Darrell released his new nonfiction book titled "A Better Way to Live."
