Debra K. Maher is a child of the American Midwest. Surrounded by books from an early age, it's only natural that she became both a reader and a writer. She is mother to three unique grown sons and mother-in-law to an amazing daughter-in-law. A few years ago, after her husband and soulmate of 38 years passed away, she retired from her job as an administrative secretary and returned to her home state of Wisconsin. There she spends her free time re-decorating her "new" 1960 Cape Cod, researching genealogy, and exploring the magic world of storytelling.
Her work has won many Romance Writer of America Chapter contests.
