Done: #SpecFicCollective Author Marketing Website

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).

Occasionally, I may link to websites beyond my own. Be aware, those sites may use language, include pictures or cover topics that are beyond rated-G or even rated-PG. I trust you to make your own choices about what you're comfortable with.

You may also find advertisements on my site or links to products where I may receive compensation for the recommendation. (For example, as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.) Just figured you ought to know -- and wanted to state for the record that I never recommend anything that I don't believe in. I have either tried it myself or have some other reason to believe it's good. If you have a bad experience with anything I recommend, please let me know!
