Paul and Aubrey's teenage bond has been shattered by time and ambition. Though the demands of success separated them, neither one can settle with any new attachment. Paul Duffy's career as a pop singer has taken off big-time. He's a superstar, but somehow the fame he thought would satisfy him, has turned to ashes in his hand. Now Aubrey is a college graduate, poised to fly with her goals as a commercial artist. She must come to terms with the idea of reworking the attachment neither of them can ever forget. Can she paint with a new palette? Can he write a fresh lyric? Do old lovers get a second chance?
Deb Kinnard started writing at age ten, frustrated because there was no preteen girl with a horse on “Bonanza.” From there she progressed to short stories and really bad poetry.
In college, she gained two degrees in health care and spent time observing hippies, basketball stars, el-ed majors and other strange species. While raising two active girls and cherishing a husband, she enjoyed a career that has encompassed Spanish translation, volunteer work at a crisis line, years in assorted ERs that don’t resemble the one on TV, and a day job at a big Chicago teaching hospital.
She’s a member of various local and national writing groups and confesses to being a loud singer at church. In 2002 she sold her first novel and has published several others since, including Seasons in the Mist which won the 2010 Grace Award in Speculative Fiction.
She's still working on both medieval and contemporary romances, as well as a speculative-fic/romance mashup, so keep an eye peeled for still more news.
When Deb’s not at the computer writing, she keeps busy with reading, playing the guitar, and needlework. She loves to travel and meet new people, some of whom turn up later in her stories. So if you meet a short woman with a light in her eye…
