Father’s Day is coming!

Deanna / Writing /

So did Dad do a great job on Mother’s Day? If so, time to return the favor (if not, time to show him how it’s DONE!)

From May 17-31, come take the cutest shot there ever was for Dad’s big day! Bring your little ones, some of dad’s shirts and ties (or borrow some of ours–we have plenty!) and put on the fedora!

Dad will be sure to love his kiddos playing dress up just for him. Mom, feel free to jump in a shot too!

This special costs $45 and includes a 5×7 of your favorite shot for Dad’s desk. Feel free to bring other outfits if you need other portraits done at the same time.

Appointments are any day Monday-Saturday, including several opportunities for school-aged siblings to jump in and get shots together during the special:

Saturday May 17
Saturday May 24
Monday, May 26 (Memorial Day)
Saturday May 31

One small note: oh, man, did spammers take over my email address. I’ve been getting as many as 1,000 “mail not delivered” and spam hatemails a DAY. If I do not seem to return an email to you, first check your spam filter as I’ve probably been blacklisted and thrown there with the other scoundrels (and victims). Second, CALL me. I may have accidentally deleted your email in the torrent of junk I’ve gotten. I’ll be creating a new clean, unstolen email address shortly, but it’s a long process to switch over. (OOOOH, those dirty rotten spammers!)

The Trail to Rom Com Land

I’m known for my ugly-cry books. I’ve always landed on the dramatic end of the scale, which has served me well for my biggest bestselling books like Forever Innocent and Baby Dust. I’d written a few rom coms here and there, almost by accident. (I’m funny? No. No one thinks the Queen of the Ugly(…)
Seizures, daughters, and books that matter

In the life of an epilepsy mom, the longest minute of your life is the one when your child stops breathing. I’ve been through it more than once. I’ve seen Elizabeth turn completely blue on the floor of a restaurant. I’ve dried her off, shivering, after seizing in a downpour at Disneyland. I’ve snatched her(…)
Forever Innocent, 7 years later

Late last year, I was contacted by Radish, a reading app for phones, asking to publish a long serialized version of my series that begins with Forever Innocent. With six books, they told me, I would have a successful run with their readers. So in January, we began the process of breaking the books into(…)
On My Friend John J Asher

Sometimes the people who become your best friends are who’d you expect. The kid your age who ends up living next door. The neighborhood family expecting a baby the same time as you. A coworker you laugh with at lunch. But then there are the ones who are only on the periphery of your life(…)
New year, new pen name!

I haven’t written a Deanna-book in a while, as I’ve been focused on branded pen names that write very specific types of books. The Sweetest Match and The Perfect Disaster both take place in the fall of 2018 in Applebottom, Missouri. The two books can be read in any order and are completely standalone. You(…)
The Little Dude Book is here!

I’ve never had a book more people have asked for than this one! A couple years ago, before we adopted Little Dude, I typed up the very first conversation between him and Elizabeth. We were out walking, hoping to find a good spot to view the super moon. It went like this: Eliza: Look at(…)
Forever Christmas, my rainbow baby book, has arrived

It’s here! My mission to help grieving moms through story has come to its conclusion! The rainbow baby is often the end of the grief journey, even though losing a child to miscarriage or stillbirth or infant death is forever part of your life story, one that will create feelings of sorrow at unexpected moments(…)
