Dee lives in central Missouri, USA with her mom and two dogs. She holds a history degree from Truman State University and recently left a twenty year career in technology to open a resale store with her sister. In her free time she is often found quilting, gardening, collecting discarded furniture, playing with her grandchildren, taunting her nieces and nephews, embarrassing her three children, or back porch drinking with her ragtag assortment of friends.
