It is estimated that Kentucky has more Melungeon descendants than any other state (followed by Texas), many of which eventually settled in Adair, Russell, Casey, Wayne, Cumberland and surrounding counties. In addition to her love of history and research, Darlene is a teacher, author, artist, actress, speaker and co-founder of the Columbia Martial Arts Center. Her literary works have been published in numerous journals and magazines and her books have been published by Martin Sisters Publishing, Casey Shay Press, Moon Gypsy Press, Autumn Sky Press and Old Seventy Creek Press.
