Debbie Macomber - Author
Description
Debbie Macomber loves to tell the story of how she got published. Of how she struggled for five years to find a publisher who would buy one of the manuscripts she wrote in her kitchen on a rented typewriter. Of how the young, dyslexic mother bargained with her four young children to give her the quiet time to write. Of the sacrifices Debbie and her husband, Wayne, made so she could pursue the dream that burned in her heart.
Eighteen years after she made that first sale, Debbie Macomber finds her name is recognized not only in households across the country but in countries around the world. Sixty million copies of her books are in print. Because of her success, Debbie's husband was able to retire to pursue his love of flying. They live in a lovely Tudor-style home overlooking Puget Sound, a house paid for with her writing dollars. In the spacious basement of that home, Wayne is building an airplane. In the past few years, Debbie has traveled to places she could only dream about 16 years ago — Hawaii, Alaska, England, Italy, France, Bangkok, Hong Kong. Debbie earned her faithful readership by writing heartwarming, wholesome stories of love and commitment. Today, however, her literary focus has broadened to the emerging field of women's fiction, which includes stories of all kinds that bear universal appeal for women.
In 1998, Debbie emerged as a major force in women's fiction. On Valentine's Day evening, women across the country tuned into the Movie Channel and watched her 1997 title for MIRA Books, THIS MATTER OF MARRIAGE, as a made-for-TV movie. Five of the author's 1998 six-book "Heart of Texas" series set in the Texas Hill Country made the New York Times Best Sellers Plus List. Her April 1998 MIRA release, MONTANA, which also earned a New York Times Best Sellers Plus listing, went on to become an alternate featured selection for The Doubleday Book Club. Readers were treated with the author's first hardcover, CAN THIS BE CHRISTMAS? in 1998, from MIRA Books. Debbie continues to grow and expand the scope of her writing. In June 2001, her first women's fiction hardcover, THURSDAYS AT EIGHT, was published by MIRA. Her latest novels in this vein are THE SHOP ON BLOSSOM STREET (2004 hardcover, out in paperback in May 2005) and A GOOD YARN, a May 2005 hardcover.
