DeJane’ Penick was born on September 10, 2004. She grew up in Chase City, Virginia, and found out that she wanted to be an author during quarantine. She is currently a student at Randolph College and is majoring in Creative Writing and Studio Art. 

She started writing on Wattpad back in 2017. She got the idea for ‘Say You’ll Remember Me’ after watching a kdrama with the same premise. She wrote the first draft of ‘Say You’ll Remember Me’ back in 2019 and finished the final draft in 2021. During that time, she realized that there weren’t many LGBTQ murder mysteries with supernatural twists to them. So she decided that if no one else will, she’ll write it. She self-published both her books, ‘Say You’ll Remember Me’ and ‘If Happy Ever Afters Did Exist’ with Draft2Digitial. Besides writing, she loves drawing, singing, binge-watching shows, and playing The Sims 4 while also using the game to help flesh out her characters.
