Denise Montgomery was the tall, lanky, slightly nerdy kid you see on the playground in the corner reading a book. It was not that she planned it that way; it was due more to circumstances beyond her control. At an early age, she developed a skin condition that forced her to stay inside during summer vacations. She referred to it as an allergy to summer. Being allergic to summer would have been a curse to most kids, but It was during this time alone that she would read and fantasize about faraway places.

Over the years the skin condition disappeared like it never happened, but her love for reading and writing had set up permanent residence in her heart.

Her love for writing began to show up in short stories and poems that she would write about imaginary adventures. In June of 2012, Denise wrote and published her first children’s book, Farmer Brown, and Lady Madelyn The Children’s Story. A delightful tale of a simple-minded farmer and his innocent wife’s search for children to love and care for.

Denise turned her attention from children’s fiction books to novels. In late 2014 she published, The Blessing an intense suspense-filled thriller about abuse and betrayal. In 2015 she published her second fiction novel, The Setup, a fast-paced page-turner of love gone awry.

In 2018 after attending a book convention Denise went back to her first love. She began writing her second children’s book based on a real-life experience. I Want to Go is set in the 1960s during the time of segregation in the south.

She has one handsome son, who is her pride and job. She resides in Texas where it is hot all the time. She teaches GED classes and runs a non-profit for the poor.
