Autorenporträt
Love for reading has always been a part of this writer's life. She gives credit to her mother for introducing her and her sister to nightly readings. Debora was a highly creative child at age five, she began making up poems and stories even before she was able to put them into writing. As she grew, so did her love for reading and writing. By age thirteen, she was writing complete manuscripts. At fifteen, she had followers who would come and "speak" to her in class so that they could be the first to get their hands on the manuscripts. As time progressed, she read at weddings, elementary and middle schools, and churches. A student at the University of Pine Bluff Arkansas, she took thirteen different literatures and to this day remains one of the best descriptive writers that has passed through the University.
