edit data

Debbie and her husband Dave live in Northern Michigan with their two pups, Parker & Buddy. They enjoy the great outdoors, and the rugged coast of Lake Superior has long been a favorite destination. Remnants of a vivid dream, with intriguing images of a polar bear and a dragon on the shore of that magical place sparked The Polar Bear and the Dragon.

Debbie began writing Dawn of an Alliance in May of 2020, with two tenacious teens leading the cast of characters. Whitney and Edward reflect Debbie’s middle grade students’ boundless energy and passion for life. As the plot unfolded, one book became two, then a third. Dawn of an Alliance was finished in 2021, Dream Jumper followed the next year, and Perilous Passage was completed early in 2023.

Just Read a Great Book

Destiny Awaiting by Jan Foster is well worth your time!

The author's vivid descriptions, intriguing characters and exciting plot make Destiny Awaiting difficult to put down. The main characters come from different worlds, and their unique perspectives challenge beliefs and create difficult interactions. Due to frequent misunderstandings, trust builds slowly.

Quotes by Debbie Watson (?)

“I know this is a shock, but my name is Traveller and I'm from a world known as Yagdi. I transform into human form while I'm on Earth because I'm quite certain a polar bear strolling down Main Street, USA would create a bit of a panic. Wouldn't you agree?”
― Debbie Watson, The Polar Bear and the Dragon, Dawn of an Alliance
