Autorenporträt
Debbie Bateman is a graduate of The Writer's Studio at Simon Fraser University. Her short stories "Sundowning" and "The Art of the Scarf" appeared in You Look Good for Your Age (2021); "The Point of Failure" appeared in Qwerty (winter 2019); and "Secret Workings" was published in Phoebe (winter 2020). Now a post-menopausal woman, Debbie is too young to be told what she cannot do, and she's old enough to know that most of us are a beautiful mess. A proud mother of three sons, she lives in Quw'utsun (Cowichan) on Vancouver Island with her husband and soulmate.
