Deborah grew up in the Pacific Northwest, where she developed her love of forests, mountains, and animals. She moved to the East Coast to attend graduate school and took multiple trips to Japan to study the defensive toxins of toads and the snakes that eat them. After earning a PhD in Ecological Sciences, she worked as a professor for several years before moving back to Seattle. Upon becoming a mother, reading to her two young daughters became one of her favorite new activities.

Her first book, Colorsss, was inspired by her love of reading to her kids and teaching people why snakes are the coolest animals around! Deborah now works as a scientific journalist and remains very interested in all things having to do with nature, conservation, sustainability…and Halloween.
