D.M. Needom has been creating stories since she was a kid. She started committing them to paper when she was in high school. Beginning as a bassist and television model during her first foray into college, she soon discovered her preferred form of education was working in the music and film industries.
Living a fortuitous life, D.M. Needom appreciates the fantastic opportunities she’s had. Her first stint as a radio personality came after winning a contest for knowing the song of the day. She was a mere blur in My Best Friend’s Wedding as Julia Roberts ran past while she was an extra. However, the excitement of being on the set made her long to work on other projects. Her longing eventually led her to sign on to a low-budget sitcom, where she was an actress and had many positions, including line producer. She’s stated numerous times that it was one of her favorite jobs.
Originally from New Orleans, she now calls the North West Burbs of Chicago her home with her three fur babies: Chloe, kitty, and Cami and Charlie, pups. While she got to experience motherhood as a stepmother, true love was elusive until she met her second husband, with whom she spent sixteen beautiful years together.

She is working on the next book in the Better To Burn Out series: Gotta Get High To Fall So Low.
