By day she works as a Young Adult Services Librarian in a busy public library, and by night she dives into her novels.

Besides reading and writing, Deena is also a fan of traveling, Muppets, Project Runway, and baking gluten free recipes. She lives near her home town with her musician husband and a large number of guitars, computers and, of course, books.
