About the Author

Dee showed an early desire to write in Grade School when she wrote a “play” for her best friends. Literature was always her passion. She said she would never be alone as long as she had a book to read. History bored her until she realized that these were real people with stories to tell. She wanted to give them a voice to show others that history is more than names and dates. It is the struggle that we all face in our lives including the hardship and joys. Your physical location is rich and ripe with these stories waiting to be told. Dee lives in Waukee, Iowa with her husband and two dogs.
