Deborah Kinnard started writing at age ten, frustrated because there was no preteen girl with a horse in Bonanza. From there she progressed to short stories and really bad poetry.

In college she gained a degree in health information and spent time observing hippies, basketball stars, el-ed majors, and other strange species. While raising two active girls and cherishing a husband, she’s enjoyed a career that encompasses volunteer work at a crisis line, years in assorted ERs that don’t resemble the one on TV, and a day job at a big Chicago teaching hospital.

She’s an active learner in her Romance Writers of America chapter, American Christian Fiction Writers, and a loud singer at church.

Deb is the author of two published novels, Powerline and Oakwood (Treble Heart Books). When Deb’s not at the computer writing, she keeps busy with reading, playing the guitar, scuba diving and skiing in the right seasons.

With her husband, she enjoys the “Connections” outreach ministry at church, and turns up in the annual church musicals, trying to do something that resembles dancing. She loves to travel and meet new people, some of whom turn up later in her stories. So if you see a short woman with a light in her eye…

Her newest work, Angel With A Ray Gun, is due out from ByGrace Publishing in July 2006.
