About the Author

D.W. Plato has been known to say, "Give me thirty minutes in a hostel, hotel, or hospital and I could walk out with a novel idea". With her ability to make friends easily, combined with her gift of gab and an over-active imagination, this isn't a stretch. She's been writing as long as she can remember and has always dreamed of being published. With modern technology and the ease in which self-publishing is available in today's world, she thought, 'why not?' On a personal note, if she's not writing, she's reading, traveling, or gardening. As a forensic document examiner, her living has been made for over a decade looking at people's penmanship. This passion and talent has allowed her to work from her New Mexican home and afforded her the time to do what she loves... writing! Check out the additional books by DW Plato, The Sinners' Club and Glue.
