Debra Davis Hinkle
Debra's mother, the Sunday school teacher, said, "She always tells the truth." I guess that's why she writes creative non-fiction. She can't write fiction because it feels, to her, that making up stories is lying.

Debra is the co-author of THIS 'N THAT with Shirley Radcliff Bruton, published in September 2020. OODLES OF BLOG POST IDEAS... will be published in late 2020. She has three more books coming in 2021 - 2022, Meow Poetry 1 - 3 and a memoir in 2022.
Debra coordinated and contributed to TALES FROM A ROCKY COAST, VOL. 1, AN ANTHOLOGY.
She is the co-author of TEARS TO LAUGHTER: EMBRACING THE FUTURE WITHOUT FORGETTING THE PAST.
She contributed to TALES FROM THE CORNER, AN ANTHOLOGY.
Debra is an award-winning author, narrative poet who lives in San Luis Obispo, CA and enjoys working on her writing while her three black cats, that were hand raised, vie for her attention. Debra lives with her husband, German Shepherd and six cats. The cats give her never ending comic relief and ideas for poems and stories.
Her thought provoking and whimsical poetry has been published in the SLO Tribune and Woman's Press.
If you want to be bored, just keep reading.
She is the current leader of the Friday Night Writers' Group. She is the Webmaster of fridaynightwritersgroup.com and several other websites. She is the past Webmaster of SLO NightWriters' website.
