Deidre Knight is a literary agent, mom, wife, novelist and southern woman, and proud to answer to all of these titles.

Before she founded The Knight Agency in 1996, Deidre worked behind the camera in movies and television. During the ten years since she launched her literary agency, she has grown The Knight Agency to national prominence, shepherding authors onto every major bestseller list. With agency sales of more than 450 titles, a large percentage of which are in the categories of romance and women’s fiction, Deidre has established a reputation for discovering vivid and unique story tellers and is considered an industry expert on the hot trend of paranormal fiction. Writing in that genre, she creates fresh characters and strong, emotional storylines. One editor has described her as having "tremendous verve and a great knack for character and smart scenes." Others have called her writing "outstanding" and "emotionally evocative."

Deidre began her writing career at age nine, when her award-winning essay on Barbie was published in her hometown newspaper, the Atlanta Journal and Constitution. She has been writing in one form or another ever since. After nearly a decade of working with Knight Agency clients, helping them discover their creative potential, Deidre celebrated her own fiction debut in April 2006. Published by NAL, PARALLEL ATTRACTION is the first in her innovative "the future meets the present" paranormal series. Her fiction launch marks the fulfillment of Deidre’s lifelong writing dream, and she is excited to embark on yet another new and fulfilling creative journey.
