Growing up, Deborah L. King wanted to be a cook, a teacher, a model, a truck driver, an artist, a photographer, and an author.  To date, she has cooked for or catered several receptions, taught Sunday school, led Girl Scout troops, and been a corporate trainer for a retail chain.  As a young adult, she modeled in boutique fashion shows and married a truck driver. 

Deborah now works as a freelance graphic artist and photographer. She lives in Illinois with her husband and two youngest children, and according to her daughter, she has “literally aced her life!”
