Debra is a long-time supporter of Independent Book Stores. In 2008, Debra’s first book launch party was held at Burkes Books in Memphis, TN, the oldest independent bookstore in Memphis, with a reading and a signing. Here she is signing copies of her first novel, A Desperate Journey, at Burkes.
Recently, Debra celebrated Indie Book Store Day, Saturday, April 25, 2026, with a book signing at Flutterbuy Books and More in Cape Coral, FL. Here she is signing copies of her romantic suspense, To Catch an Elf: Pennsylvania Fighter Pilot. (She shopped a bit too, coming home with a bag full of books to read.)
Debra also enjoyed spending time with Finn (Finnegan), Flutterbuy Books and More’s golden retriever, who reminded her of Trixie, Debra’s golden retriever of 14 years, who sat by her side as she wrote her first novel.
