Deborah McTiernan

Biography

About the Author

On July 4, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Deborah McTiernan was born into a family of avid readers. At the age of 4, she spent hours in her grandmother’s attic typing on the portable, baby-blue Smith-Corona typewriter she’d discovered in an old steamer trunk. While pretending to write exciting stories of magical heroes and heroines, the keys of that typewriter ignited her imagination.

Her family was transferred from the East Coast to the Midwest. They eventually left the city and settled in the small rural community of Orion, Illinois (thinly disguised as Archer’s Bow, Illinois in her story, “Lilly Noble & Actual Magic”). It was while living in Orion, Deborah became a life long fan of fairy tales, myth, and magic. Summers off from school gave her plenty of time to haunt the town library, read her favorite stories on the front porch, and hone her skills as a storyteller.

Deborah’s story, “Lilly Noble & Actual Magic” is a pleasant twist to the beloved and enduring fairy tale genre, and in the hands of this author, this might just be the beginning.

Deborah lives in Arizona.
