I have followed my heart through a wide variety of careers, including farming with a team of draft horses, and working as a field paramedic, Outward Bound instructor, athletic trainer, and roller-skating waitress, among other curious choices. I also know more about concrete than you might suspect.

My novels written under the name L. D. Colter explore contemporary and dark fantasy, and ones written as L. Deni Colter venture into epic fantasy realms. I'm an active SFWA member with multiple short story publications, and my debut novel "A Borrowed Hell" was the winner of the 2018 Colorado Book Award for Science Fiction/Fantasy.
