Meet Deanna Weinbrecht –
A Storyteller of Life’s What-Ifs

Deanna Weinbrecht has always found solace in stories. From a young age, books were more than just pages and words—they were portals to new worlds, places where imagination had no limits. Growing up, she devoured sci-fi, mystery, and true crime, drawn to tales that explored the unexpected. Storytelling became second nature to her, and as a mother, she delighted in crafting bedtime stories for her children, weaving magic into every word.
For years, Deanna held onto an idea, a story that refused to be forgotten. Finally, she found the courage to bring it to life, leading to the creation of An Alternate Scenario. This captivating collection of three short stories explores the profound impact of choice—how a single decision can alter the course of a life. Through deeply human characters and gripping narratives, the book delves into life’s pivotal moments, the ones that define who we become.
Beyond writing, Deanna finds inspiration in nature, movies, and volunteering. She is always seeking new ways to connect with the world around her. Whether through storytelling or life itself, she believes in the power of possibilities—the “what-ifs” that shape our destinies and make life truly extraordinary.
