Brief Biography

Deanna Foster currently works at Dalhousie University, where she received her BA in History and English. Her non-fiction book, A History of Hangings in Nova Scotia, was released by Pottersfield Press in 2007 and became a local bestseller. She recently completed Into the Walls of Madness: Asylum of Nova Scotia, which looks at the institutions created for the care of the mentally ill.

Deanna also writes fiction and is working on both a fantasy trilogy and a vampire hunter series set in the 1850s in England. The latter focuses on accuracy in both lore and history. She keeps a blog about the mind of an author and imagination enthusiast, and writes book reviews for various news letters.
