Debbie TenBrink grew up on a farm in West Michigan, where her family has lived for over 175 years.  She still lives within five miles of her childhood home with her husband, the youngest of her four kids, and her naughty puppy Stormy.  She has a Master’s degree in career and technical education, and she taught computer classes in two local colleges before spending nineteen years working as a software specialist for a law firm. She now works for a managed services provider as a software trainer and calls that law firm her client.

 

In her free time, Debbie enjoys camping,  sports, gardening, and any other activity she can use as an excuse to spend time in the great outdoors.  Other hobbies include reading (of course), having long conversations with the characters living in her head, and an almost frightening interest in true crime TV shows.

 

Her passion for writing began in childhood with short stories and poetry, and she can’t remember a time when she didn’t dream that she would someday write a novel.
