About D.J.

I am a published author and licensed therapist in Seattle. I identify as African-American, gay, a recovering addict (sober almost eight years), and a foster/adoptive parent. My little family is so diverse it’s funny at times, and other times really scary, especially as the world seemingly implodes on itself. But all in all, I can’t imagine doing anything other than writing. I write horror and drama features with strong, diverse characters.

Unique traits: Sober Dad & husband Compassionate 10yrs as a small business owner No nonsense
