ⓘ About S.D. Perry
She prefers to be called Danelle or SD, and writes original horror stories when she is not on a deadline for contracted something. She is best known for writing tie-in novels and novelizations of movies, based off works in the science-fiction/fantasy/horror genre, a job she has done for her entire adult life. Perry also writes under the pen names of Stephani Perry and Stella Howard. Danelle has always written. Her first poem, which she wrote when she was eight, was about her cat. She began keeping a journal during her tween years, and wrote in it pretty much every day into her twenties. By that time, she had started getting published. She has never tried to write a screenplay. Early on, she got a book about screenwriting, but felt the format was much too rigid for her.
