Excerpts:

Deanne Durrett fell into writing by accident. When, in 1970, her husband joined a partnership to buy a weekly newspaper, Durrett began writing a humor column for the paper. Though the partnership dissolved, Durrett continued writing her humor column. She
recalled on her Web site, "It was love at first sight! I loved seeing myself in print and then I had a dream!" While writing that column, she honed her craft and began writing children's stories, the first of which she sold to Highlights for Children in
1972. "When I began following my dream, I was told that I would need to write a million words before I could be published. So, I started on my million words. . . . I wanted to be published and I was willing to do whatever it took," she continued. "Before
too many years passed, I was selling almost everything I wrote." Her writings include twenty books, mostly nonfiction titles, including biographies, overviews of states, and books on controversial topics in the news...

...She approaches each new project with enthusiasm. "I never know what the day will bring or who will enrich my life," she once told CA. "Maybe I will unearth a gold nugget of information everyone else overlooked. Perhaps it will add the perfect touch to
my chapter or lead to the mother lode of another idea for a book. One thing is for sure, something will excite me. I love discovery and sharing the adventure with my readers." She concluded, "I love to write! Fiction is pure pleasure but nonfiction is
discovery!"
