Dead in Winter

Deborah D. Moore lives in a remote region of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan with her cat on ten acres of deeply wooded property. 

A very private person, she has a hard time talking about herself and what she has done with her life. She had a rather normal childhood growing up in Detroit with a brother, three sisters, and a stay-at-home mother. Her father, a career police officer, often worked two jobs to make ends meet. She started writing short stories when she was thirteen but set it all aside to learn and live life, raise a family, discover herself, and define her life goals. After raising two wonderful sons, she has gone on to reinvent her life several times with artistic endeavors, travel, education, life experience, and different successful careers—which now includes being a published author. 

Deborah wrote her first full-length novel, a romance, thirty years ago, as personal therapy for a failing marriage. In 2011, she finally acknowledged her need to teach and started writing again. After The Journal series became popular in 2012, she had the courage to submit that twenty year-old romance novel and finally published it in 2016. She never gave up on the dream of writing. Deborah was a prepper long before the term had any meaning. Living in the woods and cooking on a wood cookstove during the long, snowy winters reinforced her need to always be prepared and has given her firsthand experience that she passes on to her characters.
