A native Sooner, romance author Debra Cowan was born in
Idabel, Oklahoma,
and later moved to the Tulsa area. Like many writers, Debra
made up stories
in her head as a child. Her B.A. in English was obtained
with the intention
of following family tradition and becoming a school
teacher, but after she
wrote her first novel, there was no turning back.
An avid history buff, Debra enjoys traveling. She has
visited places as
diverse as Europe and Honduras, where she and her husband
served as part of
a medical mission team. Debra still lives in Oklahoma with
her husband and
their two beagles.
She is a member of Romance Writers of America and is the
Past President of
Oklahoma Romance Writers of America. Her writing has been
called
"fast-paced", "vivid", "emotionally satisfying", and
distinguished by
"strong, compelling characters". Romantic Times Magazine
says, "Her stories
have the charm, tenderness and sensuality that captivate and
enchant."Affaire de Coeur predicts, "Cowan shows the
beautiful promise of a
rising star." And The Literary Times urges, "Treat yourself
to a novel by
Debra Cowan. You'll be glad you did."
