Dedra Tregaskis

Dedra Tregaskis (Dee-druh Tree-Gas-Kiss) creates YA and Adult contemporary novels, always with some romance. Her favorite part of writing is torturing her characters–it’s frowned upon in real life. Her best advice for new writers is to find your people. Writing well takes a community of passionate individuals, and the sooner you combine to help each other, the closer you’ll be to finishing a stunning piece of art.
