Bio
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. She shares her home with her two fur babies, Cami and Charlie, pups. True love was elusive until she met her second husband, with whom she spent sixteen beautiful years together before his passing.
She hosts the Better To …Podcast with D. M. Needom, a show that allows you to get to know the person and not just what they do.
She is working on the next books in the Better To Burn Out series: Come Out of the Shadows and Doesn't Have to Be Serious.
She is also a gifted, intuitive Psychic Medium, Tarot, and Oracle card reader. D. M. Needom has been providing readings at events and parties in the Chicago area for over 30 years and currently offers Intuitive readings online.
