What editors and readers are saying about Deborah’s writing …
“The short short is a hard form, with all the constraints of both the lyric poem and the short story, and we frankly see a lot of ... mmm... not-good ones. She, however, knows how to engrave the Gettysburg Address on the head of a pin. Much gestured, and a distinctive character and situation richly implied.”
“Cinematic suspense conveyed in so few words.” “Creativity and hearty soul.” “Crisply written and touching.” “A wonderful story that manages to capture the life of family in a few short pages.” “A truly beautiful piece of writing.”
