Author Bio:

Debbie Kaufman was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky with the exception of a few early years in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. She now lives in Georgia, giving her a mix of accents that leaves both Northerners and Southerners suspicious of her true origins.

Hooked on reading from a young age, Debbie’s favorite day growing up was the Saturday the local bookmobile came to her neighborhood. Because of the six-book limit at the bookmobile, she also rode her bike on a five-mile round trip to the library on other days just to keep her addiction satisfied. All that reading led to her mother’s famous refrain, “Get your nose out of that book.”

These days, Debbie lives in Georgia, writes award-winning stories and enjoys spending time with her husband, her four children, her grandchildren, and her two dogs. She has several devotionals published in the Chicken Soup for the Soul devotional series. Her first published novel, The Doctor’s Mission, is a Love Inspired Historical released November, 2011.
