D.E. Sievers was born in Montreal in 1960, grew up in Brooklyn, and was educated in Salt Lake City. He was voted "Class Clown" and "Most Happy-Go-Lucky" at his 8th grade graduation, and these labels still apply. Sievers is a writer, musician and painter who currently resides on the banks of Lake Mendota in Madison, Wisconsin. He earns his primary income as a business continuity/disaster recovery planner.
Sievers completed his first novel, The Trees in Winter, in 2010, and is currently working on his next book, a non-fiction profile of surrealist artist Robert Craig.
