Deb Caletti was born on June 16th, 1963 in Fairfax, California. When Caletti was 11 years old her father’s business moved their family from Fairfax in Seattle, Washington. Caletti often speaks of her passion for reading and writing going from her childhood. “My most memorable teacher was Rich Campe, my third-grade teacher at Fairlands Elementary in Pleasanton, California. Rich was a bona fide Bay Area hippie…We also did a lot of creative writing in his class. His remarks on my stories…were the sort of encouragement that could make you feel that maybe, possibly, you were on to something with the whole writing thing. Groovy! he’d scrawl at the top of the page. Far OUT! If anyone knows where Rich Campe is, please let me know so that I can heartily and sincerely thank him.” Caletti was a student at Lake Washington High School in Kirkland, Washington, graduating in 1981. She received a bachelor’s degree in journalism at the University of Washington in Seattle in 1985. Caletti was a long-time residence in Issaquah, Washington, where she wrote many of her works in the fictional town of “Nine Mile Falls.” She lives within Seattle, Washington with her family.

Caletti is often asked about her choice of sexual or profane scenes in novels for young adults. In response, she states, “My primary job is to create a realistic world with realistic characters. Some people swear. Some people don’t. Some do on occasion. So that is the reality in my books, too.” Caletti clarifies this further “Honesty is the most important thing to me in my work… It is not my aim to show an idealized world. It is my aim to show the world as it is in all of its beauty and messiness and variety and wackiness and rare moments of perfection.”

Based on a van Gogh painting, Caletti’s next novel “Wild Roses” was published in 2005, and was a 2006 finalist for the Washington State Book Award.
