Darlene Soper Turner is a journalist and photographer. She retired from a successful career in television production in Hollywood, and currently resides in the California desert near Palm Springs.
In her youth, Turner toured the globe working with the US Foreign Service, and lived in Ceylon, India, and Paris. At her various posts, she became intimately familiar with the trials and tribulations associated with living in a foreign country, as well as with the way government works from the inside.
Thoughtfully combing her unique experiences and insight into fiction, Turner's debut novel, The Honey Trap, is a thrilling romantic adventure that carries readers to 1960s Ceylon to follow a rookie foreign service officer who is pitted against ruthless smugglers, kidnappers, and would-be assassins as she tries to acclimate to life in an unfamiliar country and learn the wisdom of the East.
