Debora Dennis writes cozy mysteries and sweet contemporary romances filled with real, relatable characters, plenty of heart, and just enough mischief to keep you turning the pages. A born-and-raised Long Islander now happily avoiding snow somewhere in the South, she prefers sunshine out her window, coffee in her mug, and chocolate within arm’s reach.

A mom of three grown kids and two very opinionated cats, Debora believes love and laughter belong in every story—and that happily-ever-afters are even sweeter when the journey is a little messy and a lot of fun. When she’s not plotting fictional crimes or matchmaking her characters, she’s probably reading, being coerced by her two cats into dispensing more treats, or looking for a new restaurant to try, because life’s too short to cook every day!
