When looking for books I came across the Contemporary Romance genre and was sold and I haven't turned back since.

As an adult, she earned an M.A. in American history and worked in a variety of jobs that required the donning of actual pants: Colonial Williamsburg interpreter, high school teacher, academic tutor, and (of course) librarian. Now, however, she has finally achieved her lifelong goal of wearing pajamas all day as a hermit-like writer and enthusiastic hag.

Deimantė Lukė
Deimantė Lukė, kurį laiką dirbusi komunikacijos ir reklaminių tekstų kūrybos srityse, pajuto, kad iš rašymo norėtų daugiau, tad pamažu pradėjo savo malonumui kuriamais tekstais dalintis internete, o netrukus atsirado ir pirmosios knygos „Gyvenime taip (ne)būna“ idėja. Autorė labai mėgsta skaityti ir sukūrė išskirtinai knygų mylėtojams skirtą projektą, apie kurį šiuo metu ir sukasi daugelis jos darbo dienų. Be skaitymo ir rašymo, laisvu laiku autorei džiaugsmo taip pat teikia filmai, pasivaikščiojimai Vilniaus senamiesčiu, išvykos į gamtą ir kelionių atradimai.
