Biographie de Deanna Lynn Davis
Deanna Lynn Davis is a very proud and devoted mother to three amazing children, Justin Michael, Allison Lynn, and Connor Lee. She is an avid lover of the outdoors and lives with her many rescue dogs, along with a barn-cat turned house-cat, on a cattle farm outside of Nashville, Tennessee.
Growing up in south Texas, Deanna's family had their
home in San Antonio, in addition to a beautiful 200-acre ranch
in the Texas Hill Country, outside the small town of Bandera.
Continually surrounded by family, their cows, their horse, Lady, and their Labrador Retriever, Rex, her years at the ranch were without a doubt, where she discovered her passion for nature and animals.
The ranch is also where she first started writing stories.
Most of them about dogs and horses, which she would turn into self-made books created from just folded notebook paper and a little red stapler! Deanna has always enjoyed reading and still has a large collection of storybooks from her childhood, including the book she learned to read with!
The Adventures of Benjamin Acorn came to Deanna over
twenty years ago, when her three children would spend time finding acorns under the Live Oak trees there in south Texas, and
adventurous gray squirrels played above.
But even with
Benjamin's name and story idea coming to her right away, it would still be many more years before the words finally appeared on paper.
Nowadays, you will usually find Deanna outside writing under the big oak tree beside the creek, where she is continually inspired. And thankfully now that she spends her days writing, we know we can look forward to reading about Benjamin's newest adventure very soon!
