Deborah is the author of four literary novels as well as two popular thrillers under the pen name Audrey Braun. She holds a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing and is the co-director of the Black Forest Writing Seminars at the University of Freiburg in Germany. She teaches many writing seminars in the United States and Europe.
