Deanna Chase is an American writer born in California that writes in the New Adult Fiction, Urban Fantasy, and Paranormal Romance genres. A native of California, Deanna who cites traveling as one of her favorite pastimes spent five years traveling the United States in an RV with her husband, before settling in a small cottage in a small town near New Orleans.

Six months into their residency in their little cottage, Deanna started writing her first novel Bourbon Street, inspired by her conviction that her 1907 house was haunted. She would often hear heavy footsteps in the rooms all over the house, though the ghosts appeared harmless. In a touch of humor, she asserts that the ghost would do nothing more than make some weird noises, and maybe smoke a few cigarettes.

Having gotten used to the fast-paced life in her native California, being transplanted to the slower pace of New Orleans was quite a change. Nonetheless, the shift to the quieter southeastern Louisiana is what made Deanna Chase the writer that she is. The quiet house and neighborhood provided for moments of contemplation and solitude that allowed her to write.

She also loves traveling though she does not do it as much now that she writes full time.

She currently has ten books published with the most popular the Bourbon Streets series. The series was launched with her first book ever Haunted on Bourbon Street. She has gone on to write other series that have achieved critical and commercial success

Summary of Witches of Bourbon Street by Deanna Chase

The second book of the Haunted Street series, Witches of Bourbon Street continues to tell the tale of Jade Calhoun the empath. Jade has always wanted to keep her empath abilities a secret, but in this book she finds out that she may now have to keep two abilities secret – she also has magical powers. This is difficult to do, particularly when Bea her mentor suddenly falls ill and asks that only Jade help her in fighting the illness. She either has to let her mentor die or embrace her witch side and save the life of her mentor and in the process let out her secret.

Having spent almost a decade avoiding empaths, witches, and the magic society, she needs to learn how to harness her powers fast, if they are to be of any use. With time running out, a trapped spirit appears to her long lost mother and tells her that the resident angel has abandoned his post and taken off with Jade’s boyfriend Kane. To make matters worse, it seems that Kane is possessed. If she is to save any of them, she has to learn to harness her inner white witch while at the same time fighting against black magic. If she fails in her quest, she not only stands to lose her loved ones, but her soul as well.
