edit data

D. Liebhart is a nurse and writer. She writes (and sometimes lives) stories about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, where they learn that life is rarely predictable and answers to the most complex questions are almost never black and white.

House on Fire, her first novel, won the 2023 Page Turner Award for both fiction and debut. It was long-listed for the 2022 Petrichor Prize and received an honorable mention from Writer’s Digest. Her essay Thalassophobia (a true account of a very out-of-the-ordinary honeymoon) won the 2021 Linda Julian Creative Nonfiction Prize from Emrys Journal.

The Last Word with Carly Newfeld

I had the pleasure of appearing on The Last Word with Carly Newfeld on KSFR public radio to talk about House on Fire August 2023. Carly and I meet at the Santa Fe International Literary Festival where I was volunteering for Collected Works Bookstore & Coffeehouse. We happened to sit next to each other and start chatting and I mentioned my book. I appreciate how supportive Carly is of local writers Read more of this blog post »
