Deirdre celebrates her Celtic heritage, Irish and Welsh, by turning a gift for gab into romantic tales full of imagination, mysticism and adventure. Discovering the wonder of words early in childhood, Deirdre always wanted to be an author and worked toward this dream most of her life. Since everything she wrote turned into a love story, she decided to make romance her niche but many of her stories have at least a hint of the paranormal woven through them and often the ambience of the American southwest, her home and favorite region.

She harkens back to the legacy of the prehistoric Celtic people who honored the Mother Goddess for Her gifts of Love and Desire. For these people, the physical expression of desire was both a sacred duty and a precious gift. Between lovers in the privacy of their tryst, joy and beauty can be found no matter where nature and their inclinations lead them. Giving voice to these traditions, Deirdre portrays the physical side of romantic love as she feels The Mother meant it to be—joyous, open, full of wonder and delight. She currently has a large backlist of erotic adventure tales with the Amber Heat (hetero) and Amber Allure (GLBT) lines of Amber Quill Press and continues to produce new ones on a regular basis. Her backgrounds range from prehistoric times to the far future although most are set in contemporary western milieus which she paints with vivid realism.

A self-styled Renaissance woman, Deirdre has a thousand interests and avocations, but writing is her first and one true love. An avid reader herself, she also loves to listen to New Age, ethnic--especially Celtic –and trad rock music, indulge in further creativity via many handcrafts, and explore remote corners of the southwestern USA in Red Hot Mama, her king-cab pickup, with her canine companion, an Australian Shepherd rescue named Belle Starr, a camera and various friends. She finds inspiration at every turn of life's road.

In 2011, Deirdre plans to complete her ongoing The Wild Bunch series with The Wild Bunch: Casa and publish the three stories in a print collection, add to the ongoing Thin Green Line rural fantasy series and issue a second volume of these tales in print, complete and publish a ménage collection working title Three to Tango and contribute to another PAX collection or two. Also look for Daring and Duty, a new print collection of Amber Allure tales involving contemporary men in challenging jobs and the issues they face as the demands of work and love impact their lives. On the drawing board there's a traditional pirate story with a twist: Cap'n Morgan was a Lady, a possible steam punk romp with a ménage group, and perhaps another rodeo tale or two. There may even be more canine cupids since Deirdre can't get away from her beloved dogs. So long as readers keep reading, she promises to keep writing!
