Writing as –
DEANAERA / D.F. KHAN
I don’t know when I fell in love with the written word but it was sometime in the midst of my erstwhile and misguided youth that the quiet verses of so many books, too many to name, stamped themselves upon my soul.
As one would expect with such a philosophical catalyst I started writing as a teen and have been crafting worlds within the pages of my secret journals ever since.
In the last few years, my reading addiction exploded and I began reviewing books on GoodReads.
One thing led to another and several other things happened as things are wont to do and my Blog was born, under the pseudonym of Deanaera – my inner child’s literary companion; one of my earliest and most beloved literary creations who took on a life all her own and belatedly has metamorphosed into my quasi alter ego!
ln the course of my previous not-so-misspent 20s and early 30s I also amassed over a couple decades of experience as an accounting and management professional.
So with a heaping helping of pixie dust it is my hope that my business acumen and my bookish pursuits can create some synergies for my literary passions to manifest into my writing dreams.
It’s been difficult as a writer to put myself out there (rejection hurts) but I’ve realized that life is just too short for those fears. So I’ve started writing on Wattpad as I keep working on my writing projects and open my inner world up hoping to garner feedback and support along the journey.
I don’t know if you’ll like any of it
– I hope you do –
But in the end this is me trying to have courage and fully embrace myself.

(The Final Battle) is an alienworlds sci-fi fantasy romance.
Chala was invaded by the Berg almost two hundred years ago. It was home to a utopian union of three sentient telepathic species – the Halveri, the Falmari and the Saltari. These three races are still united as one but only for the sake of war – a fight for their survival in the face of complete annihilation by the Berg. Caden Cha’hal is the last son of the Chalusian Imperial Line, once destined to be a ruler, he is now a simple soldier in the Chalusian war machine. Ishtara Sauriel is first commander of The Prime Collective and has been sent to planet CZ127 on a mission to ferret out the Bergari’s secrets. The Berg have slated the planet to be terraformed in mere solar days, under exorbitant penalties, before allowing it to be handed over to the Prime’s Office. The question Ishtara was tasked to answer was why? Why, in a centuries long hostile takeover of a Berg tech corporation whose properties and projects spanned galaxies was CZ127 so important? What secrets were the Bergari hiding?

This is isn’t a love story, it’s a life story – my life story after Grayson entered it. My name is Raven and this is the inside story on me.
“You probably think I had a pretty normal and for the most part okay childhood. I guess that is certainly the perception the world, my family and even (my best friend) had of it all, but I suppose because I never really talked about it, never talked much at all really, it’s hard to see it any other way.
Underneath this veneer, inside of me lurked a lot of darkness for a great many years, stretching from childhood into high school, it is probably why things happened the way they did…”
