E. Denise Billups is an American author born in rural Alabama, raised in New York City, formed by a multicultural environment. Previously a Wall Street Portfolio Analyst, Denise now writes haunting paranormal mysteries, suspense, and thrillers. The rigors of ballet shaped her childhood and earlier years — a discipline she carried into her writing. Today, Denise lives in New York City, where she’s a fitness fanatic by morning, a writer by day, and an avid reader during her free time. When she’s not penning her next thriller, she’s lost in the pages of a book, indulging her passion for literature or surrounding herself with friends and family.

The Waiting Is Almost Over, And Book One Is Just $1.99 This Week

Some stories take everything out of you.

The Blight is that kind of story.

I’ve lived inside Eva Beauford’s head for longer than I want to admit, through the predawn hours, through revision after revision, through moments where I had to stop and just sit with what she was carrying. Because what Eva carries in this book is not simply a curse, or a bloodline, or a man she loves. She carries a truth th

“Honestly, I never really understood the glorification of Fridays & weekends.

I don't want to build a life and career, where I spent five days a week waiting for the weekend. No!

I want to enjoy my life, and don't wish any weekday away. I want each day to matter to me, in some way, even if it's a small tiny way.

I love my life. Everyday. That's the spirit we should convey all around us.”
