Author Bio

Though Deborah L. King has been a writer and storyteller her whole life, publishing her first short story at seven years old, she took only thirty-two years to complete the story of Glory Bishop. The novels were published in 2019 and 2021 as Glory Bishop and Glory Unbound. The two-part story tells the coming-of-age of a Chicago teenager growing up in the 1980s. Glory Unbound is a finalist for the CWA 2022 book of the year. Deborah's third novel, Mary Not Broken, is the prequel to Glory Bishop and tells the story of Glory's mother.

Deborah loves storms, champagne, old time radio, and '70s blues and soul. As a fiction writer, she loves the work of Octavia Butler, classic Stephen King, Peter David, and the illustrations of Dan DeCarlo. Thanks to an interesting childhood, she's afraid of escalators, bill collectors, and sometimes fresh produce.

Along with being a Vulcan and a bread-bender, Deborah enjoys cartoons, baking, photography, and Star Trek. Born and raised in Chicago, she has managed to achieve all of her childhood dreams-artist, teacher, baker, photographer, model, truck-driver, writer-and still lives in the area with her husband and two youngest children. According to her daughter, she has "literally aced her life!"
