Over the next few years, she finished her college degree, wrote and published two novels for Harper Collins, and moved to New Orleans where she lives now among a very eclectic group of friends. She shares a house with two adorable Shih-Tzus (Harry and Sally).Deborah can't remember a time when she didn't want to be a writer, except a short period when she was ten and wanted to be a jockey (she blames Walter Farley). She won her first fiction contest at age eleven and never looked back.When she's not writing, Deborah loves exploring New Orleans and its history, painting, reading, and photography.view less
