Dede Stockton loves to read and has enjoyed reading her whole life. As a child, she was a military brat and so lived all over the world. Most places did not have television, or at least not American television, and because she is an only child and there were no electronic devices in those days, she read... Anything she could get her hands on!
Dede lives in Colorado where she can enjoy all 4 seasons on any given day! She owns a home based business as a virtual assistant and loves interacting with clients all over the country. Part of the freedom of being self-employed is one of being able to pursue other dreams. Writing a book is one of those dreams and Dede hopes to be able to write many more in the coming years
