Deborah's life has two parts: the first in Canada, where she grew up, and the second in Connecticut, where she lives with three children, two doodles, and one husband. Both places feel like home for her, and in both she's been lucky enough to pursue her passion: story-telling. Back in Toronto, Deb attended the Royal Conservatory of Music and the University of Toronto.  She penned the travel column for a national newspaper before working in public relations, liaising with press, foreign diplomats, corporate investors and the public.Since relocating to Connecticut, Deb's been published in local and national media, both as a director at a strategic communications firm and as a freelance writer. Her work has appeared in everything from websites to poetry journals.Afters years of aching to see a title of her own on the shelf, THE CRATE, was born. THE CRATE is a true crime/Holocaust story, and a lifelong dream come true for Deborah. Her dream continues with the publication of her first novel, a thriller/courtroom drama called A NEST OF SNAKES.
