A Christian wife, proud mom, and romance junkie, Deb pens clean novels often laced with humor, quirky characters, and heartwarming moments. Before she begins writing, Deb develops characters from past and present memories to serve as heroes and heroines. It's true that life introduces us to the most interesting people we can imagine.
As a high school grad, Deb worked in the community for several months before joining the U.S. Navy to see the world. In boot camp, she won the American Spirit of Honor Medal for her example and inspiration to fellow recruits. After her tour of duty, she traveled the country with her career Navy husband, seeing places and meeting people from various cultures. These life experiences provide the fodder for the characters and settings in her novels.
Following a twenty-year registered nursing career, she pursued a lifelong zest for writing, spurred by her fifth-grade Daughters of the American Revolution medal for a story about Donner's Pass. Ten-year-old Deb poured through encyclopedias to learn what really happened to the ill-fated wagon train.
That passion for research led her to fervently study the writing craft. She won a first-place award for an adult story and had three stories published in anthologies, including CrossRiver Media's Abba's Lessons by DeeDee Lake. Her favorite accomplishments, though, are her two novels with romance, Love Calls the Shots and Find Me In Paradise.
Deb credits her two degrees, a bachelor's in psychology and an associate's in registered nursing, with boosting her storytelling on multiple levels. She dispatches caring heroes or heroines to accident scenes to save lives with their medical know-how. Her years of Advanced Cardiac Life Support training continuously come in handy in timely moments.
On a typical day, Deb sits at her desk and thanks the Lord for her ADD and her handsome husband's infectious humor. He's romantic yet funny, the best combination for a happy marriage. He's her role model for both Aiden Littlefield and Gray Addington in Love Calls the Shots.
When she isn't reading, writing, or cuddling her sweet Chihuahuas and supportive hubby, Deb enjoys spending time with Brian in nearby Grand Haven, a charming resort town by Lake Michigan.

A Valuable Tool for Novel Writers
For me, the art of writing is equivalent to working a puzzle, and Body Beats to Build On is like finding the center piece that connects the frame. It offers suggestions and ideas for authors. I've scanned and re-scanned pages, dog-earred many, and literally worn-out the book. But how could I ever part with this ragged copy? Having spent hours thumbing through the chapters, I know where every jot, tittle, and drop of sweat lies. LOL
But let me back up and...
WELCOME JEN DODRILL!
Deb: Hi Jen, I enjoyed reading your two cozy mysteries–Birds Alive! and Where’s the Quetzal? One thing I loved about them is that both books contain a little romance. Book one sets the stage for potential romantic relationships and book two develops them. You had us guessing which man Peg would choose–the birder or the detective. It was touch and go there for a while. They all had unique, definitely not run of the mill, relationships, which made the books a hoot to read....
