Since moving to Wyoming, D.J. has been seduced by the bizarre and stranger-than-fiction history the state has to offer. She is up to her eyeballs in research and often found lurking in historical museums and library archives. D. J. holds a BA in psychology from Houghton College and a MA Ed in Special Education from the University of Colorado, Denver. Currently, she is an adjunct instructor for Casper College in Casper, Wyoming in their Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) program. She helped found WY Write, a group for Christian writers in Casper, Wyoming. She’s been a contributing member of The Write Nook since 2016 and serves on faculty at the Colorado Christian Writer’s Conference. When she’s not writing, D. J. is active on the worship team at her church as a vocalist and struggling guitar player. She can be found paddling on the North Platte River in her kayak or hiking in the mountains with her husband and son. During the 11 months and twenty-nine days of Wyoming winter, she enjoys snowshoeing, Nordic skiing, and watching the snow fall. And to make herself nuts, she is trying to teach herself how to crochet.
