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.

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.)

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!
