Over
the last several years, Darrell Bain has become
one of the top best selling authors in the world
in the realm of electronic publishing. Most of
Bain's books are also in print. He produces a
monthly newsletter, discoursing on various
subjects brought up by fans or by his own
voracious reading habit, written in an informal,
narrative style. It is available around the
first of each month from his web site at

Darrell is the author of more than two dozen
books in many genres, running the gamut from
humor to mystery and science fiction to
non-fiction. For the last several years he has
concentrated on science fiction and
suspense/thrillers, with an occasional foray
into humor and short stories. Some of his most
memorable titles are The Sex Gates, Savage
Survival, Alien Infection, The Melanin
Apocalypse, Strange Valley, The Pet
Plague trilogy and the Willard Brothers
series.
Darrell served 13 years in the military and
his two stints in Vietnam formed the basis for
his first published novel, Medics Wild,
and the sequels featuring the zany Williard
brothers, where the latest book has brought them
up to their present day exploits. Darrell has
been writing off and on all his life but really
got serious about it only after the advent of
computers. He purchased his first one in 1989
and has been writing furiously ever since.
While Darrell was working as a lab manager at
a hospital in Texas, he met his wife Betty. He
trapped her under a mistletoe sprig and they
were married a year later. Darrell and Betty
operated a Christmas tree farm in East Texas for
many years, which became the subject and
backdrop for many of his humorous stories and
books.
The Bain family consists of he and his wife
Betty and their dachshunds, Tonto and Susie,
along with Velcro the cat. They still live on
the site of their Christmas tree farm, though it
is no longer in business. Darrell is a full time
writer now and Betty is retired. They spend most
of their leisure time reading.
