Deborah

Some people don’t discover their passion until late in life, but Deborah was not one of those people. She fell in love with the written word at seven and has known she wanted to be a writer ever since. To be sure, like all children, she went through phases of wanting other things, but writing was always what she came back to. Even while she worked towards her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in theatre, she still spent her spare time putting pen to paper. By the end, her time spent in theatre reaffirmed the written word as her first love.

It never occurred to her that she’d one day turn her craft to writing about oil; but her theatrical education taught her that storytelling demands a certain eclectic curiosity. Over years of world and character development, she has studied and written about a variety of subjects from historical sailing ships to planetary motion to glassblowing to architectural design. Engines and oil were just waiting for her to discover their immense fascinations.

When she’s not translating the story in the oil for you, Deborah is probably writing a story of her own while enjoying a cup of coffee or reading a book while enjoying a cup of tea (Earl Grey, hot).
