    Debra Parmley

    Debra Parmley spreads love, one story at a time. A multi-genre, hybrid author, fascinated by fairy tales and folktales ever since she was young, she has always ended her stories with a happy ever after. Every story she writes turns into a romance.  She started out writing gritty western historical romance, always with a damsel in distress, back before self publishing was an option. Her first book, A Desperate Journey, was published in ebook in 2008 and in print in 2009.  An Air Force veteran's wife, she now writes military heroes. Montana Marine, is part of Elle James Kindle Worlds Brotherhood Protectors series, and Protecting Pippa, is her most recent contemporary military romantic suspense in Susan Stokers Special Forces Kindle Worlds series.  Debra enjoys travel and her work as a travel consultant gave her the opportunity to visit many countries. Her luggage often carried home folk tales from the countries visited and you will find her travel experiences scattered throughout her books.  Her three favorite things are dark chocolate, visiting the beach and ocean, and hearing from her readers. Each card, letter and email is a treasured gift, like finding a perfect shell upon the beach.  For more information about Debra, please visit www.debraparmley.com.
