Deane loves all things family especially the part about being a grandma! She lives with her husband in their 100-year-old house and writes from her back porch studio overlooking towering oaks and hickories that inspire and delight. She adores her Father God and the sunrises he created, her early morning walks, deep talks over good black coffee, writing the stories of her life, feeding their loved ones, listening to God and watching the sky.
