About the author

Born in Sacramento, California in 1969, D.M Denovi grew up predominantly in Montara, California; after having relocated several times back and forth from the West Coast, to the East Coast and back to the West.

With a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration, earned earnestly through various home study programs, she traveled throughout the United States as a computer programmer. It was during the process of coding extensive rating algorithms that she discovered her urge to put those algorithms into words.

Taking a break from traveling, she settled in Las Vegas, Nevada to be near her family; and there, she penned her first novel, which spiraled quickly into a trilogy. The concept arrived through a combination of dreams inspired by reading the Revelation of John.

Into the Wilderness - Book 1 was published as an ebook at Amazon.com in 2014 and was later followed by the audiobook version, narrated by James Gillies in 2015. The Last Time - Book 2 ebook was released for Kindle in 2015, followed by Half a Time - Book 3.

Taking a break from the spiritually seeded trilogy of good and evil, D.M. Denovi turned her algorithms toward contemporary fiction. Her recent releases include: The Blog, a suspense/thriller; Clara's Bible, the fictional, historical account of a young, bi-racial girl adapting to abduction in the 1970's; and recently published, The Stalk Exchange, a suspense/thriller tailing the lives of five women whose worlds collide at the hands of a malevolent stalker.

With a deep seeded love for writing contemporary fiction and spiraling thrillers, D.M. Denovi is currently working on several projects(to be announced.)

She lives and writes in Las Vegas, Nevada with her husband, David, and 13 year old "puppy", Bella.

[Kathleen Benedetta · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was thoroughly surprised at the depth of this story. I downloaded it as a free-bee on my kindle and read it during a long flight. I love that the author did not pull out the usual tricks involved with exorcist type of stories. Also, I loved the characters. They stayed true to the story line. What really impresses me is that even though there is not a specific time to the story, there is still a timeline that is strictly followed. I would urge this author to get a better editor, although the editing wasn't too bad. It read like a movie and I did not have to weedle through two pages to find out what color the grass was. The story does not end with a cliffhanger, but a happy closure and I am awaiting the second book.

Part biblical, part fantasy, part revelations, this was a bit of a hard read. The plot is relatively straight forward, but the scenes jump around a lot and that makes the story very hard to read.

It is well written, but just very hard to read and I kept getting lost from time to time. I really wish it has be pulled closer together, I might have well enjoyed the book.

A wild story and entertaining read.
