She has published two volumes of short humorous stories, written in standard English with Jamaican patois dialogue, called Pardner Money Stories.

Deanne also has a personal interest in Black History and as such has delivered presentations to schools and heads of education establishments on the need for black history to be taught to young people. Deanne's primary school teacher's love of poetry sparked her own interest in poetry and writing in general. She has found writing poetry an escape and a very therapeutic way to cope with racism and the harsh life she experienced in Britain on her arrival.
