Denitta Ward writes historical and contemporary fiction from the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. After decades of writing legal briefs and contracts, Denitta picked up her pen and decided she'd write the stories she really wanted to tell - about young women discovering their own resilience in times of transition. Denitta is a member of the Women's Fiction Writers Association and the Historical Novel Society. Somewhere Still, written as a Mother's Day gift, captures a society in transition - the world of jazz, baseball's Negro League and a burgeoning Prohibition bootleg trade -- all a backdrop for this story of the price of love, the hurts that are slowest to heal and a certain kind of infinite redemption found when women band together across race and class. After finding a literary agent, Elaine Spencer of the Knight Agency, along came Somewhere Else. Set in Havana, Cuba during the tumultuous year Batista's regime fell, a young woman finds herself torn between love and loyalty, home and safety. And the Somewhere series was born.
