As a shy child with a mother who was an English professor, (Dr. Kathleen L. Nichols), it was only natural that Deirdre developed a love of reading and learning at a young age. As a result, she has enjoyed an adventurous personal life and diverse career.

While it may have seemed disjointed at the time, it is the perfect set-up for her to become an independent and freelance writer. Not only does she have a familiarity with a variety of topics, but she will also happily educate herself on any subject presented to her. In the spirit of constant improvement,

Deirdre is a member of the International Society of Female Professionals (ISFP), the National Association of Independent Writers and Editors (NAIWE), and the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA). She supports animal protection organizations such as Wayside Waifs, global anti-poverty organizations such as Unbound, and various disease-fighting charities such as the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

When not reading or writing, Deirdre divides her time between creating art, gardening, cooking, caring for her rescue pets, and watching movies with her husband. She hopes that 2023 will offer more opportunities for travel and attending plays and concerts.
