Deb grew up near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her father was a Marine who fought in the World War II Pacific theatre; her mother is a registered nurse. Before writing, Deb succeeded in other careers. In her early twenties, she worked for a Philadelphia-based department store and remembers selling furniture to the heavyweight champion, Joe Frazier. She spent fourteen years employed by a computer technology firm where she oversaw the development and installation of health-care applications. Throughout the 80s, Deb’s work took her to hospitals and major medical centers across the United States.
After discovering the Low Country's ambiance, Deb and her husband moved to coastal South Carolina in 1991. This region became the setting for Flashback. For the next ten years, they owned and operated a vacation rental business on Hilton Head Island. They sold Seashore Vacations to a key employee in 2000 and both function as part-time consultants for the company. As a semi-retired couple, Deb and her husband enjoy an active life on Hilton Head Island and traveling together.
Currently, Deb Welch is seeking a literary agent for Payback and Flashback. Through iUniverse, she published Flashback in 2007, sold over 500 copies within six months and owns the rights to this novel. She wants a traditional publisher for both books and a third planned for the Dunlevy series.
