Deanna Dickinson McCall writes about the West with settings in both the past and current day. Deanna has cows, horses and a love of the land bred into her, coming from a family that began ranching in Texas in the 1840's. She has ranched in several western states, including 22 years raising her family on a remote Nevada ranch without phones or electricity. After 17 years in New Mexico she now ranches with her husband in Western Oklahoma.

Deanna is the Manager of the Academy of Western Artists.

Her writing and performances have won numerous awards: The National Cowboy and Western Heritage Wrangler Awards, The Will Rogers Medallion Awards, the Georgie Sicking Award, NM/AZ Book Awards, Women Writing the West Awards, Western Music Assoc Awards, the Academy of Western Artists, the Texas Poets Gathering Heritage Award, and The Della Johns Scholarship Award.
