You know Deon from behind the counter — but when he's not at the shop, he's writing. And lately, the writing has turned into something you can hold in your hands.
Over the past few weeks Deon has published six books. The Emergence Trilogy — Spark, Kindling, and Wildfire — is an epic fantasy about power and what it costs. Quickening is a psychological horror novel. And The Benefit and The Watermark are the first two books in The Privileged, a mystery series about money, secrets, and small towns — with the third, The Blackball, on its way.
It turns out pies and books aren't so different. Both start from scratch, both take patience, and both are best shared. The same care that goes into a cherry crumb goes into every page.
If you're curious, you can find everything at deonbenito.com — and yes, he'll still be at the shop. Somebody has to keep Oreste in line.
