About Me

Debby Conrad

Sexy reads with a dash of humor and a slice of suspense

I grew up in Canton, Ohio but have lived in Erie, Pennsylvania since 1980. My husband and I have two grown daughters and five grandchildren. I have worn many hats in my lifetime; retail sales, rental agent, Realtor, office manager, aerobics instructor/studio owner, marketing/advertising manager, and the last being a mortgage loan officer/mortgage company VP. However, with the exception of being a mother, being an author is the best job in the world.

No alarm clocks to wake me, no sales quotas to meet, no boss to whom I must answer, no wardrobe expense, no office gossip, no employee or co-worker complaints and no stress. I can name my own days and hours, I have no boss and I can write in my jammies. Every day is fun and rewarding and I wonder what I did to deserve this amazing job I love.

But please don’t hate me. For me, it was a long road to publication—ten years in fact—until I sold my first book to a publisher. The ups and downs many authors face can be extremely disappointing. Winning writing contests and having an editor or agent request your novel, but then reject it, is heartbreaking. You may wonder why I continued to keep writing. The answer is because I couldn’t stop writing. Yes, I had some interruptions/breaks along the way, but the dream and the need to write never diminished. I had, and I still have, stories to tell and the ideas are not going to go away until every last word has been typed on a page. I hope I can continue to entertain my readers.  Without readers, an author is no one.

Thank you so much for reading about me. If you have read one of my books and have time to write a review on your favorite online bookseller, I would very much appreciate it. I love hearing from readers and will personally answer all emails. If you would like to send a message to me, please click here.
