Deana Evers began writing her first novel in middle school to entertain her friends during boring classes. When a teacher caught her passing around pages and asked her what she was doing, instead of sending her to the principal she encouraged her to keep writing. With her friends enthusiastic support she started five different novels, but never quite found the time to finish them. Someday, she thought, when I'm at home raising a large family I'll have time to write. Well, four active and occasionally dangerous little boys later that dream was put on hold. Despite winning a first place writing scholarship, Deana decided to major in Psychology. She went on to become a clinical social worker and certified hypnotherapist. She was a counselor in a mental hospital and then private practice. After burning out she became a bridal consultant, food pantry director, youth minister and greeting card merchandiser, while raising four active and occasionally dangerous sons and five dogs. She never seemed to find the time to write, but read books whenever she had a free moment, which she credits for saving her sanity. When covid hit, Deana finally found the down time to write her own stories. She found the creative juices flowing once again often writing on her cell phone sitting in the couch surrounded by noise and chaos from boys and dogs. Deana lives in a suburb of Baton Rouge, Louisiana with her husband and best friend of 27 years, her mostly grown sons, and her four spoiled Cavalier King Charles spaniels. Now that she's started writing again she doesn't plan to stop.
