Deborah is a former teacher who lives on Sydney's Northern Beaches. She has been a member of the NSW Writers' Centre for seven years and has learned the craft of writing from the many inspirational authors teaching there. This is Deb's first book. It came about as a result of a reminder from one of her sisters about bedtime stories told by Deb, which featured the nocturnal adventures of a child flying on an old sack. The book was great fun to write, and it provided an appropriate vehicle for Deb to express her concern about the perilous state of the biosphere. Deb feels that she must take her characters forward into a sequel and hopes to enjoy the process of growing them up a bit. Deb has a young adult science fiction novel in progress and hopes to complete it in 2016.
