Debbie has lived in Michigan, Colorado, Kansas, and currently resides in Texas. Each location has left its mark. She has taught everything from kindergarten to college English. Each of those experiences has influenced her as well. She has written in and reads a variety of genres and for varying age levels. Children's writing and fantasy are her favorites. She also has extensive speaking experience.

The publication of her first novel, a fantasy trilogy, The Chronicles of Henry Roach-Dairier, was the start of realizing a dream. It took over eight years from the time the idea was conceived until Debbie held the printed book in her hands. It was very exciting. The trilogy's second edition was released in the summer of 2004.
