Hello, my name is Debra and I am socially challenged. *So much so it falls into the realm of handicapped. I don’t require a prescription or an over-the-counter drug or therapy. (Maybe) I am an introvert. Such an extreme introvert the sight of conversations in my twitter feed makes my heart begin to palpitate double-time.…
The Birthday – the milestone event of another year. I told Susie Lindau, the Wild Rider that I would blog about this day and then I proceeded to panic about it all week long. This is why I write fiction. I’m no good with real life. My characters say it so much better than I ever…

Spontaneity. . . Not one of my best qualities. I am in love with the idea of it, wish to embrace it, yet constantly find the need to plan, organize, plot and formulate. These traits can be awesome when it comes to planning events and organizing one’s day. But sometimes enough is enough! Do you…
Where was I Wednesday? Getting ready to check out of my week of edit paradise, I awoke to a sea of white outside my window. All that after a night of babies crying and men coughing into all hours of the night. I was driving down the mountain at a snail’s pace with a HUGE…
Have I ever mentioned that I am a writer? My current project is a work of fantasy. One really fantastic aspect about writing fantasy is you get to create worlds.
