270 DM PULLEY (4).jpg

D.M. Pulley lives in northeast Ohio with her husband, her two children, and a dog named Hobo. Before becoming an Amazon best-selling author, D.M. Pulley worked as a Professional Engineer rehabbing historic structures and assessing building failures. Her survey of a vacant building in Cleveland, Ohio inspired her debut, The Dead Key, the winner of the 2014 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award. Since then, Pulley has published three more mystery/thrillers inspired by true-crime in the Rust Belt and sold over 800,000 books worldwide. Her most recent novel, No One’s Home, was nominated for a Goodreads Choice Award and named "Best of Horror 2019" by Suspense Magazine. The Cleveland Play House produced Pulley’s ghost story “The Christmas House” into a short film in 2020, and her short story “Tremonster” was published in the Cleveland Noir anthology in 2023. 

Pulley's Gothic thrillers shine a light into the darker side of life in the Midwest during the twentieth century, when cities like Detroit and Cleveland struggled to survive. Her latest novel, No One’s Home, unravels the disturbing history of an old mansion haunted by family secrets, financial ruin, and murder. The abandoned buildings, haunted houses, and buried past of the Rust Belt continue to inspire her work.
