edit data

Deborah writes gritty, realistic thrillers and crime fiction that lean into horror (think Stephen King's MISERY). While indeed fiction, her Victim Advocate Colleen Heenan series is inspired by cases she worked during her career as a victim advocate at a mental health organization in Texas. Her novels provide readers with a unique perspective on the criminal justice system.

"With a gifted flair for writing about the dark side of humanity, Dobbs is an author to watch." - Carter Wilson, USA Today Bestselling Author of Tell Me What You Did. ...more
