D.M. Pulley lives in Northeast Ohio with her husband, two children and dog, Hobo. Before becoming an Amazon bestselling author, Pulley worked as a Professional Engineer rehabbing historic structures and assessing building failures. Her survey of a vacant building in Cleveland, Ohio inspired her debut, THE DEAD KEY, the winner of the 2014 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award.
Since then, Pulley has published four more novels inspired by true crime and real buildings, and she has sold over 800,000 books worldwide. Her thriller NO ONE'S HOME was nominated for a Goodreads Choice Award and named one of the “Best of Horror” by Suspense Magazine The abandoned buildings, haunted houses, and buried past of the Rust Belt continue to inspire her work. Her latest Gothic thriller, STONE MAD, is the story of a haunted house, a missing girl, and the woman who connects them.
