Dete Meserve is a bestselling author of five novels and an award-winning creator and producer of films and television series. She adapted her debut novel, Good Sam, into a screenplay and produced it for Netflix. Her passion for storytelling stems from her work as the owner of Silver Creek Falls Entertainment, a Los Angeles-based production company, where she has produced everything from big-budget dramas and mysteries to star-studded comedies and animated series. When she's not writing or producing, you can often find her exploring nature or browsing the shelves of her local bookstores and libraries. A Chicago native, Meserve has lived most of her life in Los Angeles, where she and her husband have raised three children-and two very pampered cats.
