Dena Nicotra was born in Southern California and grew up between the busy city and a small town in Arkansas. She is a copywriter, freelance journalist, and holds a degree in Communications. She currently lives in a small desert town in California with her husband and one very spoiled little dog.

She's mom to two grown sons that she calls her sun and moon.

​

When she's not writing, she can be found in the kitchen cooking up something special for family and friends.
