ⓘ About Deborah Brown
There are many great writers out there but only a few can deliver great works. Some of these writers are so good that by reading one of their books one feels like they want to devour the entire bunch of their books. One such great writer is Deborah Brown, the author of the Paradise series, Trouble Florida Keys mysteries and Deception among many others. Her works are unique and phenomenal. They can make one laugh, cry and cheer at the same time. Deborah is a red head 5’2 in height with long legs that makes her stand out from the crowd. She hates exercising and often jokes about it that she actually loves it so much that she makes sure she visits that gym after every five years. She is an avid lover of strawberry lemonade and likes collecting seashells. Deborah is not new to writing.
