Deany Ray

Deany Ray is a Romanian-born author known for her engaging cozy mystery novels. Originally from Transylvania, she moved to Cologne, Germany, at the age of 21 and has resided there since. Despite her Transylvanian roots, she humorously dismisses the vampire myths associated with her homeland, preferring to focus on crafting lighthearted and entertaining stories. Her passion for cozy mysteries stems from her love of reading the genre, which inspired her to pursue writing professionally.

Though English is not her first language, she collaborates closely with editors and proofreaders to ensure her books meet high standards of clarity and readability. Her works emphasize humor, charm, and relatable characters, hallmarks of the cozy mystery genre. Beyond writing, she enjoys traveling, watching films, and spending time with friends and family, particularly during cooking sessions with her mother.
