About the author

ROADS (2023). Of Roads, Ron Rash wrote, "From the opening page, Daren Dean propels the reader into his story and never taps the brakes as his characters move toward an inevitable reckoning. Dannie Gail Posey is the novel’s young heroine, and we cheer her on as she navigates a violent world that seeks to entrap her even as she dreams of escaping it. Roads confirms Daren Dean as an important new voice in rural noir." In 2025 he had three works published, The New Salvation (CJ Press), Lovesick (Louisiana Literature Press), and Shelter Me (A novel of the 2016 Louisiana Flood) Livingston Press.
