About this author

edit data

Visit Proach's new blog, www.crusadesandcrusaders.com.

Deanna Proach graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in History from the University of Northern British Columbia in 2008. She initially trained to become a teacher, but decided, in her last year of post-secondary education training, to pursue a career in writing instead.

Since then, Proach has written two novels: DAY OF REVENGE (Inkwater Press) and TO BE MARIA (will be seeking representation/publication).

When She's not writing, Proach is actively involved in her local theatre community as an actress, and she's learning the art of medieval sword fighting (not with real swords of course).

Deanna liked Michelle's review of The Leper King and His Heirs: " Ahhh... I have fallen in LOVE with King Baldwin the IV and Saladin. Well, I should expand that a little: I love the Crusades. "
