Deborah Mason was born and raised in the South, bless her heart. She taught middle school, high school, and college English, as well as creative writing. If she were to describe her life in one word, it would be "blessed." Her faith, family, and friends keep her centered. Deborah recently retired from teaching, a career that fed her soul for many years. She has taken a C.S. Lewis quote to heart: "You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." Now that she has retired from teaching, she has time to pursue her other passion . . . writing.
