Deborah M. Hathaway graduated from Utah State University with a degree in English and Creative Writing. As a young girl, she devoured Jane Austen's novels while watching and re-watching every adaptation of Pride & Prejudice she could, entirely captured by all things Regency and romance.

Throughout her life, she wrote many short stories, poems, and essays, but it was not until after her marriage that she was finally able to complete her first romance novel, attributing the completion to her courtship with, and love of, her charming, English husband.

I started the group, All Clean Romance, for that very reason: I hated having to stop reading novels, and I hoped I wasn't the only one who felt that way. I wanted to create a group where anyone could find a clean romance novel, no matter the genre, no matter the age of the reader. All clean romance for all kinds of people. That's why I write clean romance novels, too! Thanks again for your question!(less)

Quotes by Deborah M. Hathaway  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I mean, there are some things in life you can’t change,” she said. “And there are some situations where we need to learn to let go and just deal with the disappointments as best we can. But in other situations—like a job, for instance—we can either choose to keep being disappointed, we can choose to see the good in what we have, or we can choose to leave it behind and find something better.” Her eyes met his, unwavering. “Something that will lift you up instead of drag you down. Something that brings you lasting joy.”
Deborah M. Hathaway, Christmas Baggage

“She blew out a breath. What was the world coming to, now that she, Morvoren Hollow, admired a fisherman?”
Deborah M. Hathaway, In the Waves of Tristwick

“Like you said, life is full of disappointments. But also, life is what you make it. If you keep being disappointed by the same thing over and over again, you have to ask yourself if something needs to change, you know?”
Deborah M. Hathaway, Christmas Baggage

“Anything is to be preferred or endured rather than marrying
without affection.”
Jane Austen

“He shrank from hearing Margaret's very name mentioned; he, while he blamed her – while he was jealous of her – while he renounced her – he loved her sorely, in spite of himself.”
Elizabeth Gaskell, North and South

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
