D. L. (Danielle Lise') Prophet was the quiet, shy little girl in elementary school who still managed to get in as much trouble as the wild boy in the class. She did this by rarely paying attention. It wasn't her intention to ignore the noble striving of her teacher to educate her pliable young mind. There just was a whole, much more interesting world residing in her creative mind. She was the class daydreamer. Her perceptive sixth grade teacher recognized the value of her imagination and encouraged her to put that world to paper and that began her love of writing. She's been telling stories ever since. She started out writing skits and three act plays for the neighborhood kids to perform during their summer vacations. Years later she went on to hone her story-telling skills during the 80's, as a singer/songwriter, writing for such bands as the Boston area, award-winning, Feat of Clay. She now lives on the inspiring coast of Massachusetts where she's renovating a home. She resides there with her dog, Annie. The Opposite of Gravity is her debut novel. She's presently working on her second novel, Flying & Falling.
