edit data

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.

Writing update from the groves…🌳👻

Happy New Year! I’ve been so deep in the groves with Eva that I’m a little late with my New Year wishes, but I hope 2026 is treating you well so far.

I’ve been living in Eva’s head for weeks now, revising Book 2 of Beneath Beauford Grove. The story picks up just three days after the ritual that ended Book 1, and Eva is facing impossible choices as the blight spreads through Beauford Grove.

“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.”
