 Deanna
Michelle Smith was born and raised on the south
side of Chicago, IL. She attended Northern Illinois University majoring in
Business Administration and maintained a position on the Dean’s List. She began
writing at an early age in order to vent frustrations without getting in
trouble. She hopes her fictional words will encourage our youth to take the
straight and narrow route in opposed to the easy one.
She has been a featured author on Motown Writer’s Network, Real Sista Writers
online writing group and the Metro Detroit Literary Collective Group.
Her debut novel, entitled Reign Storm
was released in February 2007 and her second novel Out Law City
was released in April 2007. Her short story, Plateau of Pleasure has been
published by Literary Wonders in the Crimes of Passion: The Anthology.
She is currently working on another anthology, The Shattered Glass
Effect, which includes her two short stories,
Lady Judas and Scarlet’s Blood.
