About the Author

Desseri Anderson writes from the quiet corners where memory, myth, and imagination intertwine. Her debut novel Laurel Run was born during a season of deep transformation—crafted in the stillness of chemo treatments and sleepless nights. What began as a way to stay grounded soon blossomed into a sweeping saga of magic, legacy, and love.

A lifelong lover of fantasy, Desseri credits her mother for sparking that flame—racing home from grade school to watch Dark Shadows together, wide-eyed and spellbound. As the eldest sibling, she often wished she could heal those around her, a longing that now lives in the heart of her characters.

When she’s not unraveling Alex’s world, Desseri can be found in her garden, coaxing herbs and vegetables to grow, or in the kitchen, baking with intuition and joy. Her stories carry the warmth of home, the ache of history, and the quiet strength of women who choose love, even when it costs them everything.

Readers often say her work feels like stepping into a memory they didn’t know they had—rich with emotion, steeped in magic, and impossible to forget.
