My name is Debra, and I’m an aspiring author of Young Adult fiction and a stay-at-home mom.  Not to be confused with a stay-at-home mistress—those are the ones who eat bon-bons and watch soap operas all day long.  The soap operas sort of fall by the wayside when you have a six-year old, a two-year-old, three dogs (one of them seriously defective), and one ADHD husband.  Oh yeah, and a fish, dubiously named Emily.  I say dubiously because as with most Betta fish they sell in stores, Emily is actually a boy. Hey–do you want to explain the basics of fish sexuality to my six-year-old? I rest my case.

Seriously, though–my family is great. I wouldn’t change one second of our crazy, messy, unorganized lives. What this house lacks in a paper or dog-free spot on the couch, it makes up for in laughter and hugs.

I write freelance for other websites and hope to use my Physical Therapy degree again one day when the kiddage gets older. But my passion is writing Young Adult fiction.
