Denise Wilcox’s mother declares her daughter was born talking. This love of words made her a voracious reader, a dedicated writer, and a passionate teacher.  She embraces each new day as an adventure providing inspiration for her next creation.  Denise writes middle grade novels, and nonfiction and poetry for all ages.  When she's not writing, Denise loves exploring the world, especially national parks, with her photographer/artist husband, Steve.  Everything is fair game for inclusion, so beware, because Denise likes to listen as much as she likes to talk.
