About this site

Teddi Deppner

You probably met me somewhere -- at a conference, on Facebook, in a heated blog discussion. Welcome!

It's no secret I'm a change agent. The status quo is ever my arch-nemesis, which is why even my fiction challenges my characters (and my readers) to shifts in perspective.

This site is where I think out loud and track cool things I discover in my areas of interest (see the Categories list below).
