​Life can't ever really defeat a writer who is in love with writing, for life itself is a writer's lover until death - fascinating, cruel, lavish, warm, cold, treacherous, constant.

Without the Veil Between, Anne Brontë:
​ A Fine and Subtle Spirit
is getting rave reviews!

There are two novels, a number of poems, and very little else left on this Earth of Anne Brontë, but author DM Denton has plumbed the depths of these and added uncanny insights to create a fully rounded telling of Anne Brontë's life. Time and again, the strengths and opinions of independent Anne were minimized and overlooked by her older siblings, but here in this gem of a book we get to see Anne in all her fullness. I particularly enjoyed Ms. Denton's skills in showing us the "other side" of important stories in the Brontë story ... In life Anne desperately wanted to be seen, heard, and respected. She wanted to have a positive impact on those around her. Through DM Denton's book ... Anne finally gets her wish. 

I Love This Book! It Brings Anne Brontë to Life

Welcome from DM Denton

Picture2017
A native of Western New York, DM Denton ( Diane M Denton (nee DiGiacomo), finds her voice in poetry and prose, truth and imagination. Through observation and study, inspired by music, art, classic literature, nature, and the contradictions of the creative and human spirit, she loves to wander into the past to discover stories of interest and meaning for the present, writing from her love of language and a fascination with what has been left in the shadows.
     Her educational journey took her from a theater and communication major at SUNY Brockport to an English literature and history curriculum at Rosary Hill College (now known as Daemen College), Amherst, NY and Wroxton College, Oxfordshire, England. She stayed in the UK for sixteen years in a yellow-stoned village with thatched cottages, duck pond, and twelfth century church and an abbey turned Jacobean manor house (now Fairleigh Dickinson University Wroxton College), surrounded by the beautiful hills, woods and fields of the Oxfordshire countryside—a life-changing experience that resonates in her personal and professional endeavors to this day.
     Always writing and creating, DM Denton’s day jobs have included gardening, retail, administration, and volunteer coordinating at WNED Public Broadcasting. She currently works as clerk for the Zoning and Codes Administration of the small rural Western New York town where she resides in a cozy log cabin along with her mother and a multitude of cats.
     DM Denton is also an artist who has illustrated the covers and interiors of her own and others’ books.

Reaching out to the thinker, dreamer & aesthete ...

Picture1971
My educational journey took me from Theater Arts and Communication at SUNY Brockport, to a History and Literature major at Daemen College (formerly Rosary Hill College) in Amherst, NY; culminating in a dream-fulfilling semester at Wroxton College, England (run by Fairleigh Dickinson University, New Jersey), not far from Stratford Upon Avon, Warwick, Woodstock, Oxford, as well as the picturesque Cotswolds. 

Not least because of a fateful encounter, I impetuously remained in Wroxton for sixteen years—a yellow-stoned village with thatched cottages, a duck pond, and twelfth century church and abbey turned Jacobean manor house.  I lived, for better or worse, right off the pages of Fielding, the Brontes, Austin, Hardy, DH Lawrence, and even Dickens, surrounded by the beautiful hills, woods and fields of the Oxfordshire countryside, and all kinds of colorful characters.  This truly turned out to be a life-changing experience that resonates in my personal and professional endeavors to this day.

I returned to the US in 1990, to a rural area of Western New York State where I reside in a cozy log cabin, with my eighty-something mother and a multitude of cats.
