About Me

Darrell Delamaide is a writer, editor and journalist with more than 30 years' experience. He is the author of three books and has written for magazines, newspapers, and online media. A specialist in business and finance, he lived in Europe for many years, has traveled widely, and has a master's degree from Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs.

The New Superregions of Europe, a look at the cultural and economic trends in post-Cold War Europe, was published in 1994 by Dutton. Gold, a financial thriller, appeared from the same publisher in 1989. Doubleday published Delamaide's earlier nonfiction work, Debt Shock, an analysis of the Third World debt crisis, in 1984.

Delamaide's journalism career began with Dow Jones in 1975 and included work for the International Herald Tribune, Barron's, Institutional Investor, and other business publications. Based in Paris for 11 years, Delamaide traveled on assignment all over Europe as well as to Africa, the Middle East and Australia. In 1993, he joined Bloomberg News as Frankfurt bureau chief, and later, in the U.S., was national editor for drugs and healthcare. Delamaide moved to Washington, D.C. in 1999 to become content director at AOL's Personal Finance site. Now a full-time freelance writer, he covers a broad range of business and cultural topics from the nation's capital.

He has also written for specialized publications in management, advertising, accounting, engineering, and travel and leisure.

Delamaide was born in Pittsburg, Kansas and grew up in St. Louis, Missouri. After graduating from St. Louis University, he went to Munich on a Fulbright Scholarship before attending graduate school at Columbia.
