Rhett DeVane

About Rhett :

Rhett DeVane has been writing since she was old enough to hold one of those big fat pencils. The author's mother testifies that Rhett has always made up stories.

Before Theresa DeVane passed away at ninety-one, she gave her daughter this advice:

"Don't ever give up on your writing. It will take you places you never dreamed possible."

Rhett made a living as a dental hygienist for forty years. Her patients after all this time are friends, family. They were truly as excited about her first published novel as the author. Rhett says, "they were just plain-out relieved." After all, when you are a captive audience and the speaker has little sharp tools in your mouth, you listen to every word she says. They flocked to Rhett's first signing and continue to support her writing. Now, Rhett is retired and happily writing every day.

Rhett DeVane comes from a long line of humorists and storytellers, their familial roots embedded in Alabama, Georgia, and North Florida. Parents, siblings, cousins--none could ever resist a good joke. Laughter, love, and support flowed easily in the DeVane clan, a perfect garden for a budding Southern writer. A good disposition proved beneficial for anyone marrying into the family, too.

Rhett is originally from Chattahoochee, a small town in the Florida panhandle. After college, she moved to Tallahassee, the warm and friendly city she now calls home. She continues work on her Southern adult fiction novels, as well as a Middle Grade and Young Adult fantasy series.

"Writing is fun! The best part? I get paid to make things up. Not to mention the joy of having people enjoy my work." Rhett DeVane
