<div class="quote">Deborah’s school presentations focus on the development of stories and the intensive research involved in writing, particularly with historical novels. Her first <em>Time Meddlers</em> book involves North American history, specifically the First Nations and explorers of the St. Lawrence region, New York State, Ontario, and Quebec. She also discusses the elements of the science fiction story as they relate to “suspension of disbelief.” Deborah’s books are written for children from grade five to grade nine.</div>
