Dena Blake grew up in a small town just north of San Francisco where she learned to play softball, ride motorcycles, and grow vegetables. She eventually moved with her family to the Southwest where she began creating vivid characters in her mind and bringing them to life on paper.

Dena currently lives in the Southwest with her partner and is constantly amazed at what she learns from her two children. She's a would-be chef, tech nerd, and occasional auto mechanic who has a weakness for dark chocolate and a good cup of coffee.

Dena's first novel, Where the Light Glows, is a Rainbow Award winner for Best Lesbian Debut as well as Runner Up for Best Lesbian Book and Best Lesbian Contemporary & Erotic Romance.
