DM Denton is a native of Western New York State. Her writing life began as a child retreating into the stories and poems that came to her. She is a published novelist, poet and illustrator, passionate about nurturing nature and a consciousness for a more compassionate, inclusive, and peaceful world. Some of the most defining years of her adult life were those spent studying and living in rural England, in a yellow-stoned village with thatched cottages, a duck pond, and twelfth century church and abbey turned Jacobean manor house. Besides the illustrated poetry book, A Friendship with Flowers, DM Denton has published three biographical and historical novels with All Things That Matter Press: Without the Veil Between, Anne Bronte: A Fine and Subtle Spirit, A House Near Luccoli and its sequel, To A Strange Somewhere Fled. She has also published Kindle shorts and is currently writing a novel portrait of the Victorian poet Christina Rossetti.
