Hey there! I’m Dean.
I'm a playwright, essayist, screenwriter, journalist, filmmaker, and high school English teacher. And now, I'm a debut YA author.
I've been writing professionally for more than 30 years, teaching for almost 20, and after so much time writing plays, screenplays, and working in freelance journalism, I'm thrilled to be entering the amazing world of YA storytelling.
I'm so glad you're here!
