Debra has always loved libraries. She even worked as a library aide in her work-study job at Marywood College, while working toward her BA in English Literature. She almost changed her major to library science! But at the end of the day, what she wanted most was to write and share her stories with readers all over the world, so she completed her English degree, and graduated with honors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today Debra is happy to support libraries and reading groups in any way she can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is holding a copy of Check Out, <\/em>which is set in Bartlett, TN, and features a Bartlett librarian heroine, a Marine Vet with PTSD, and a college-age sister who has a stalker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
