My name is Deanna Marie Breen-Ball and I originate from Anaheim, California. I lived in Southern California for most of my life while moving around the Orange, Riverside and San Diego County areas. I found myself beginning my true journeys in life in June of 1997 by enlisting into the US Army as a Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic. With assignments in South Carolina, Maryland, California and Darmstadt, Germany, I was able to understand that the depth to being a Soldier involves a lifestyle, rather than just a job. This lifestyle brought about experiences, knowledge and ability that reached far beyond a day-to-day life of the corperate world. While in the Army, I met my husband and we now have 2 beautiful children. I've since expanded my life experiences by graduating college and becoming a part-time educator. While doing this, I was able to work with special needs children with autism. I am currently working as a full-time stay-at-home mom and first-time author. All the life experiences, combined with the charasmatic personality that tends to connect to people, have brought me to writing the book "Looking In".
