I am an Edinburgh-born Scottish author. I started writing stories almost as soon as I learned to read and write and continued to do so all through my school years.
But at 40 years old now I have spent my life working in various settings, none of which fully allowed me to exercise my creative muscles. So now I am focusing my efforts into writing and other creative endeavours.
I usually write adult short horror and thrillers but I am starting to explore other genres such as fantasy and science fiction. And I have started branching out into screenplays having made several short (very low budget films).

Hi, I'm Deanna. By day, I'm a registered nurse, usually in the chaos of an ER. By night, and in just about every moment in between, I'm a writer.

I didn't realize writing a novel was on my bucket list.
I planned to try writing a novel from March through December 2020, but when COVID-19 kept me indoors, I started writing every day. Beneath A Blanket Of Snow is my first novel. I wrote it in ten weeks.
