- Please introduce yourself so that the readers will get to know you better.
My name is Debbie and I am a wife of a hard-working and patient husband and a mother of two amazing little girls. When I’m not working my full-time job, chasing my ever-energetic children, or maintaining every nook and cranny of my home, I can be found jotting down creative stories or songs.
- What is your inspiration behind your book “King Kenny and the Fox’s Cape”?
As a Christian and a mom, I find deep meaning in the ability to share my faith and important life lessons with my kids. This story was created from the principles used in teaching my children about the Biblical story of David and Bathsheba. Outside of the adult-relatable content lies a tale about a discontent heart that sought after something because of envy. I felt this concept at its core would be easy for kids to understand and quite relatable, which is how the book was born.
- When did you realize you wanted to be an author?
After spending years writing short stories, songs, and poems, I finally decided about a year ago (2022) that I wanted my children to be able to hold and pass down my books.

My ultimate goal would be to see my stories become staples of people’s childhood. I’d love to hear young readers tell me years down the road that my stories helped them understand important lessons at a young age.
