What is the question asked most when introduced? '''Is Daco a family name?'''

When given the opportunity to name his second child, Daco’s father, a physicist who spent every day of his life pondering the Special and General Theories of Relativity, jumped at the chance of formulating her name. From conception to birth, she is both name and formula. Pronounced with a soft "a" and long "o", the name sounds a little French, but is scientifically based in a physics formula:

The derivative (D) of acceleration (A) at the speed of light in cm per second (C) is equal to zero (O), where C is same in E = mC2.

My father had a sense of humor; there is no change in acceleration at the speed of light, the speed of light is the fastest rate of speed we know of, now at least, so I guess that makes me the speed of light!

Born at the Naval hospital in Bethesda, Maryland and raised in Wernher von Braun’s Rocket City of Huntsville, Alabama, Daco holds a B.A. and M.A.S. from The University of Alabama in Huntsville and a J.D. from the Cumberland School of Law. She is a member of the Author's Guild, International Thriller Writers, and Romance Writers of America. When not practicing law, she spends her time raising two children and writing novels.

Single Title

[[Category:Romance Genres]] [[Category:Publishing Terms]] [[Category:Writing Romance]]

'''Single Title''' romance novels are any romances not published as part of a [[Category Romance|category romance]] publisher's series line. They are longer than 'category' romances and average around 350 to 400 pages. Single Title romances exploded in popularity in the early 1980's (see: [[The Romance Wars]]) and continue to attract a large readership. Unlike [[Category]] romances, there are no rules in Single Title. Though authors may write a series of related titles, each single title stands alone in terms of packaging. The publishers do try to brand their books in such a way that readers can readily identify an [[Avon]] book when scanning shelves.

Romance novels are often categorized by word count, and Single Title romances generally fall into the 100,000 plus word count range.

'Single Title' is a publishing term and does not mean that the titles are not related in a [[Series (disambiguation)]] by author or topic.

Romantic '''mystery/thriller''' is a [[Romance Sub-Genres|sub-genre]] of the [[Romance Genre]]. In addition to the romance, the storyline will contain elements of danger to the hero or heroine and generally exhibits graphic sexual situations. This is a darker version of the romantic suspense novels and may or may not have an H.E.A. (Happy Ever After) ending as with traditional romances.
