Denise Brown is a freelance ghostwriter, proofreader, and copy editor, who still pinches herself some mornings that she gets to sit at her desk and write stories for a living. She often wishes that she could go back and tell her eight-year-old self that it's okay to daydream because that's where the magic happens. Born in East London, Denise has now settled in Scotland where she feels certain she must've lived in a previous life. She loves dogs and snow globes and has a teensy obsession with Jack Skellington. Her debut YA thriller I Am Winter was published by Hashtag Press in 2021 and was longlisted for The Diverse Book Awards 2022.
