Deborah Davitt was born at an Army hospital in Washington state, but spent the first twenty-two years of her life in Reno, Nevada, where she earned her BA in English. In 1999, she received an MA in English from Penn State, where she taught rhetoric and composition.

A short-story of hers, ""The Cenotaph,"" appeared in Intergalactic Medicine Show in Sept. 2016. She's also known for her Edda-Earth series, including The Valkyrie, The Goddess Denied, The Goddess Embraced, and the newest entry in that universe, Ave, Caesarion. She currently lives in Houston, Texas, with her husband and son.
