Her novella, Dangerous Ties, was published by Desert Breeze Publishing. Deadly Adversaries, is the third book and connects the first two with the grown children of the two couples in the previous books. The first two books can be read as standalone books. After her publishers closed and rights reverted to Debra, she self-published all three books, changing the title of the first to Gone to Texas: A Desperate Journey.
