D. Liebhart is a writer and a nurse. Her work explores the moral complexity of real life, examining how ordinary people navigate moments where the right choice is anything but clear. House on Fire, her first novel, won the 2023 Page Turner Award for both fiction and debut. It was long-listed for the 2022 Petrichor Prize and received an honorable mention from Writer’s Digest. Her essay Thalassophobia (a true account of a very out-of-the-ordinary honeymoon) won the 2021 Linda Julian Creative Nonfiction Prize from Emrys Journal. Feral Creatures of Suburbia, her second novel, was a third-place finalist for the New Mexico Press Women Association’s Zia Book Award.
