She wrote, produced, and directed a historical play in the third grade, and in the sixth grade, she amused her classmates with her adventurous spelling-word stories, which often included commercial breaks and songs.
Deb is married and has three sons. She loves spending time with her granddaughters, who have inspired her to write stories about strong kids finding their way in the world. Her work in libraries at the elementary, middle, high school, and college levels, assisted her in eventually creating a library in a school of the arts.
Deb's short stories have been featured in children's magazines. Her debut middle-grade novel, Frigg's Journey to Anasgar, will be published in September 2022 and is the first book of an exciting new fantasy-adventure series Chronicles of Nadavir.
She lives in the Pacific Northwest where the formidable forests, majestic mountains, and blustery beaches provide ample inspiration for fantasy settings. She loves imagining what it would be like to encounter a faery, travel to Narnia, and fight orcs in Middle Earth, so long as she doesn’t have to leave her living room.view less
