Deidre J Owen was born in Lexington, Kentucky, but aside from a stint in the Canadian Maritimes she has spent a majority of her time in the Tampa Bay area in Florida.

A versatile writer, Deidre has taken joy in a variety of genres including children's books, contemporary fiction, speculative fiction, horror, humor, and Christian themes. She is also co-founder and designer at Mannison Press.

Although formerly a certified veterinary technician by trade (with a quirky history of random interests), Deidre is currently loving life with her husband in Lithia, Florida, as an author, publisher, and work-from-home mother to the couple’s young daughter.
