Her books have been bestsellers and featured on television. Early family experiences have provided the basis for Denise's story themes and settings. She lived in Europe for over twenty years while her father was a diplomat with the U.S. State Department. Her mother was an opera singer and Denise's very first memory of life was her Mom's glorious voice singing to her.
