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.
