Guard "Andy" in the Christmas Panto "Aladdin."

Deni looking over the shoulder of Annie Spracklen during the musical
"Oliver." |

Deni
rehearsing "You Gotta Have Heart." The words
to that song mean a lot when you're an author, especially the
line "mustn't sit around and mope."

Deni standing next to a fellow actor during the filming of
URBAN COWBOY.
John Travolta has very blue eyes. Debbie Winger wouldn't sign
an autograph for Deni's kids. When Winger "died" in
Terms of Endearment, Deni laughed. |

I'm in the righthand corner...buried beneath the snow.

At
the Rocky Mountain Book Fair. I'm gazing at my adoring
fans...while listening to the fourth quarter of a Denver
Broncos football game.

My
office. I cleaned it for the picture.

My
bathtub. This is where I plot my books. Can you say "Psycho"?

This
painting is called "The Pony." I graduated
from the University of Wisconsin, where I was an art
major. I opted, instead, to become a novelist because
I wanted to be rich and famous. Hahahahahahaha...

My
sister, Eileen
Dietz, plays dead for the cameras while shooting
a movie on Vancouver Island. Location: My house. The
producer "borrowed" it.
My fee: Chinese take-out.

My
sister Eileen,
alive and vibrant.

Thanks
to Eileen, I wrote FIFTY CENTS
FOR YOUR SOUL,
inspired by events that occurred during the filming of "The
Exorcist."
Racing
down the aisle at a writers conference
to marry novelist Gordon
Aalborg. The hotel
left champagne and chocolates
in our room.
Gordon and chocolate... life doesn't get
much
better than that. |
