Deanna Chase is best known for her Jade Calhoun series—a blend of paranormal suspense and Southern charm that introduced readers to a world where ghosts don’t always stay quiet and love doesn’t always come easy. That series opened the door to the Pyper Rayne and Witches of Keating Hollow books, each one expanding a universe where magic is both a gift and a complication. Her stories resonate with readers who want a little laughter with their chills, and romance that sparks even in the darkest corners.

Though her books are often wrapped in spells and spirits, Chase’s writing is grounded in emotion. Her characters—many of them witches, mediums, or reluctant heroines—struggle with very human questions: how to protect the people they love, where to belong, and what to do when your past won’t stay buried. That emotional core is what draws readers back again and again.

A self-published success, Chase has built her career one book and one loyal reader at a time. She’s part of a growing group of indie authors redefining what success looks like in genre fiction, proving that magic on the page doesn’t need a wand—just a strong voice and a compelling story.

When she’s not writing, you’ll likely find her with a coffee in one hand and a rescue dog at her side, wandering the streets of New Orleans for her next bit of inspiration. And if a ghost happens to cross her path? Well, that’s just another chapter waiting to be written.
