Books

“Be nice and don’t eat sugar!” Dee DeTarsio lives by that motto every day, or at least until  nine o’clock in the morning. Dee is petrified of tornadoes, but thankfully grew up in Ohio in a small town called Fremont, which her parents told her is Indian for “land of no tornadoes.” (Could that possibly be true?)

She loves vegetables, as long as they are hot and buttered and come in a big red bowl courtesy of Orville. Dee is an early bird, evening showerer, and, thanks to crashing biorhythms the exact same time every day (3:32), afternoon blight.

She says an author bio is b-o-r-i-n-g. Unless it’s your own—in which case, tweaking it is like getting to second base, with yourself. She is considering a nom de plume, believing that Delilah could come up with better steamy scenes.

Dee DeTarsio is a graduate of The Ohio State University and lives in southern California with her family. She did not teach herself to read at an early age or write stories by the time she was in kindergarten. She was still wetting the bed and playing in the can cupboard.

The Scent of Jade

  1. I just finished “The Kitchen Shrink” and I loved it! Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it and laughed with it. It reminded me of one of my friends.

    • Dear Pattie–I can’t thank you enough for taking time to not only read The Kitchen Shrink but to write a note that you liked it! I love hearing from people who actually “got” it! Thank you again and Happy Holidays! (Reviews on Amazon also help new authors connect with other readers, she says with all the subtlety of a sledge hammer:( sorry!)

      • Dear Pattie, I am feeling a little guilty over here–but THANK YOU so much for your kind review! They really do help. I am so glad you found The Kitchen Shrink and liked it! Evanevichish–Priceless!! Thank you again and Happy Holidays!

    • Hi Alana–I’m so glad you like The Scent of Jade–I had a lot of fun with that…and I did leave the door open for a second book! (Right now I’m working on my newest novel, Haole Wood, set in Maui…due out next year) AND, (shameless pitch, so sorry!) if you get a chance, I hope you check out Ros! Thanks for your note–take care! Dee
