A sixth generation Texan, Deanna Raybourn graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio with double majors in English and history and an emphasis on Shakespearean studies.

After teaching high school English and history for three years, she left education to pursue a career as a novelist. Fourteen years later Deanna broke into publishing with a three-book contract with MIRA Books for Victorian-era mysteries featuring Lady Julia Grey. The first book in the series, Silent in the Grave (2007), and the sequel, Silent in the Sanctuary (January 2008), were both Book Sense Picks. The third Julia Grey mystery, Silent on the Moor, will be published in 2009.

After one too many hot Texas summers, Deanna and her husband packed up their daughter and their Labrador and moved to Virginia, where they enjoy the fall leaves but deeply miss good Tex-Mex cooking.
