Daryl
Counselor of Coin & Kingdom
Hello all, my name is Daryl! Over the years I have had the great pleasure of working behind the scenes helping my wife, the Bookish Babe herself, build and form Blissfully Bookish into the exciting venture it is today. My gifts lie mostly in the subtle art of intricately weaving the delicate web that is business development and corporate financial compliance, but I can assure you that there have been heavy doses of manual labor involved also, along with moments of creative critique.
One of the things Kathryn and I both passionately share is a true love and appreciation for literature, of all forms and genres, and the creativity it both inspires and nurtures. Throughout our lifetimes we have been swept away by enchanted forests and towering mountains, explored the deep, dark corners of space, cheered on the valorous and the vengeful alike, and imagined ourselves wielding magic right alongside our favorite characters, but that was not enough. We wanted to be a part of a community that helps to share these exciting tales and bring us all just a little bit closer to being a part of those worlds we love so much.
During my time away from bookish endeavors, I, of course, love spending time with my wife, mountain biking and trail running any chance I get, fishing, working on projects outdoors, diving, hiking with our golden retriever, Persephone, and enjoying the company of our two cats Nyx, the Pixie Bob, and Theia, our Maine Coon.
You can also find me online as the co-founder of Website Warlocks!
