Deidre Berry grew up in a picture-book town in Kansas where she began writing stories of her own, shortly after learning to read. With a lifelong dream to share the power of words, she is also the writer of short-stories, screenplays, and poetry. Away from the computer, Deidre zealously pursues her passions for fine dining, reading, cooking, and shopping; and is also a die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan who enjoys hosting game day parties for her family and friends. She currently resides in Kansas City with her husband, Richard.
