Book description
A descendant in a long line of schoolteachers, Debra planned to follow
family tradition until she put pen to paper and wrote her first novel.
For Debra, there was no going back. It took five years and four
completed novels before she finally sold to a publisher. Her first
novel, an historical, was published in 1994. Three years later, she
debuted in the contemporary romantic suspense market with the Silhouette
Intimate Moments line. Her small-town Oklahoma roots help her give her
characters a warmth and depth that readers love. Equally inspired by
Nancy Drew and fairy tales, Debra loves to combine romance and suspense
in both contemporary and historical novels. One of Debra's favorite
aspects of writing is the research. She believes in obtaining firsthand
experience whenever possible and has frequented a shooting range,
observed brain surgery, and even interviewed a notorious cop killer. In
addition to writing, Debra works as an administrative assistant in the
oil industry. An avid history buff, she enjoys traveling and has visited
places as diverse as Europe and Honduras, where she and her husband
served as part of a medical missions team. Often asked why she writes
romance, Debra says it's because she believes in heroes and heroines
who, after fighting their way through often-staggering obstacles, are
rewarded with a happy ending. When the story's over, their future is
just beginning. Born in the foothills of the Kiamichi Mountains, Debra
still lives in her native Oklahoma with her husband and their two
beagles, Maggie and Domino. Debra invites her readers to contact her at
