Debra is a child of the American Midwest. Surrounded by books from an early age, she became an avid reader. Soon she began weaving her own stories.  When she realized she could write her own books, a dream took root.

At age 21 she married and soon changed careers from office secretary to at-home mom to three sons. Her family moved from the Midwest to eastern Pennsylvania.  Throughout those growing years she read – to her sons when they were young, and always for personal pleasure. She also began writing seriously. 

With her sons now grown, Debra works as an educational office professional by day.  Nights and weekends she huddles over her home computer and enters another world.  She’s a proud member of Romance Writers of America and several of its Chapters.  Her work has won or finaled in many RWA Chapter sponored writing contests and she hopes soon to take it to the next level.

Her stories are usually set in another time because those are the voices she hears. She writes about everyday people, about good people and bad ones, and those who can’t quite decide. She writes timeless romantic suspense. Often, when she’s not looking, mystique flies in – just to keep life interesting.
