About Denny
HISTORICAL FICTION AUTHOR
My Story
Denny writes historical fiction, and her debut novel, WILD WOMEN AND THE BLUES from Kensington Books will be on sale on March 30, 2021.
A public relations professional, she spent more than 20 years running her marketing and public relations firm. For nearly 10 of those years, she wrote and read Buffy/Spike fan fiction. A devoted fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, and Angel (the TV series), she is also a classic film buff and loves genre TV. Current favorites include A Discovery of Witches; This is Us, The Flash, and Seal Team.
Before fanfiction, and her days as a PR Diva, the graduate of Barat College at DePaul University, was a professional dancer, part-time singer, and “bad” actress. She worked with professional dance companies in Chicago and New York, and a theatrical production, which almost debuted off-off-off-Broadway.
In college, she minored in history but her love of 20th century American history she credits to her maternal grandmother, Ella Elizabeth Joseph, who immigrated from Montego Bay, Jamaica to New York City in 1923.
When Denny stopped writing fanfiction, she started writing original fiction. An RWA Golden Heart® Winner, she now writes book reviews for NPR Books and recaps OUTLANDER on Starz for FROLIC Media.
She is represented by Nalini Akolekar at Spencerhill Associates and recently relocated from Northern Virginia to Savannah, Georgia, but enjoys traveling across the USA, Europe, and the Caribbean.
