Debra has traveled all over the world and has visited over 50 countries and all seven continents. She wrote travel articles and published a travel zine while raising two daughters in southern New Hampshire.

Several years ago, when rereading HG Wells' classic The Time Machine, Debra noticed a character named only once in passing. This sparked the idea of writing a story about the Time Traveler's assistant. The short story became a novel; the novel became a two-book series. Debra is currently writing a third book which is part prequel, part sequel to The Nomad series.

When not writing, Debra creates art from natural objects and is a juried member of the NH Art Association. Her work is displayed and sold in local galleries.

She lives on the seacoast of New Hampshire and she still loves to travel.

About The Nomad: Book One:
"A bold and adventurous vision of humanity's future history, tapping into elements of sci-fi, philosophy, and pop culture. Readers are pulled into a well-crafted puzzle of prose, as Tillar has a sharp and clever pen. Compelling characters may drive this novel, but the futuristic worlds Tillar builds are highly inventive. The Nomad has a deeply creative premise, savage plot twists, and a narrative style that playfully bends the boundaries of storytelling." Self-Publishing Review ...more

I heard about your books from a giveaway that I did not win, but they sound interesting, and I do plan on giving them a read eventually. I discovered that they are on Kindle Unlimited. My question is one that maybe you can't answer for legal reasons. I'm curious, if someone wanted to ensure that you are compensated the most. Is it better to buy the book outright? or will you still be compensated through unlimited?

Debra J. Tillar Thank you for thinking of me! I do get compensated by Amazon for Kindle Unlimited. I'm glad you're interested in my books.

The best thing you could do, besides reading the book of course, is to leave an honest review on Amazon and/or Goodreads. And if you think others would like the story, spread the word. Thank you so much and I hope you enjoy reading my story.(less)

Debra J. Tillar, The Nomad was fantastic. I won it in the giveaway, finished reading it yesterday, starting Book Two today, and hoping for a Book Three? Hard to believe this is your first novel. Stunning!

I believe you left a wonderful review for me but you found the abusive sex difficult to read. I understand completely and I worried about this aspect of the book, I have two adult daughters who are avid readers and I did check with them, as well as with a few other people, and was assured the sex was tolerable and understandable under the circumstances. Still, I understand why it would be difficult to read for some. It's good for me to hear how other people are affected by what I write and I'll certainly keep your words in mind whenever I write in the future. And yes, I'm working on a third volume, which will be part prequel and part sequel. It'll be a couple of years, I think before it's ready but I might surprise myself and get it done much faster. I do hope to get various chapters printed as short stories in sci-fi publications. THANK YOU again for the kind words!(less)
