Deen Ferrell

I'm a best selling, award-winning author with a gift for dialogue and a love for adventure... My books include:: the 5 Book Cryptic Spaces series, "Don't Look Under the Stairs," created with then Disney animator Thomas Leavitt (now with SkyDance Animation). The children's book is also a virtual reality game that allows children to walk into the pages of the book to look for clues. Songs I co-produced and wrote lyrics for (on Spotify and most other streaming channels) "Just A Lonely Kid Like Me," sung by Leah Finkelstein, and "Never Really Was, Based on the Cryptic Spaces Series" sung by Heather Stewart. I was nominated for a Student Academy Award in college for "More Bull than Dozer," which I wrote and art directed. Awards my books have won are listed on the photo of the series, with the exception of the most recent award, second place in the YA category in the London Book Fair. I am also a public speaker, and big proponent of literacy.
