She also led drama clubs and improvisation groups in which students learned theatre games, bonded over a love of drama, and participated in small workshop performances. Debbie is excited to share Lights, Camera, Action: It’s Cassie Lewett! In the hopes of inspiring readers to take risks in order to make their dreams come true. Debbie now teaches reading and writing to middle schoolers and particularly enjoys seeing their voices come through as they grow their confidence as independent writers. Debbie would like to dedicate this book to her mother who instilled a love of the arts in her, and to her daughter who she hopes will always face life with joy, tenacity, and a willingness to try new things.view less
