Bio
Denise LaJuan Peters called northern Virginia home back when a bike ride took her to Mr. Russells's farm and the adventure-filled woods next to it. She attended college in Virginia's picturesque mountains and seminary in frigid upstate New York. But she settled in the quiet Virginia piedmont two decades ago. Dragons steal their way into her writing. But her love of Ivanhoe and Jane Eyre keeps the tropes at bay.
