Deborah Ann Kauer

Deborah Ann Kauer - I was born in Jacksonville, Florida - my father was in the Navy, but I spent most of my childhood in Wisconsin where both my parents were born and raised. I have one daughter. When she was in high school, her English teacher became my greatest encourager, so I enrolled in college to become a teacher. I majored in both English and History, enjoying both. I have a master's in teaching and a second master's in Library Science. As a child, I loved telling stories; the more outlandish the better - at least I thought so. Now I am writing stories to share with others. I currently have between 10 and 15 rough outlines for stories, some P & P variations, and some original stories. I also enjoy drawing and painting, so I create my own covers. I am playing around with a book about Elizabeth as a child, writing for a younger audience, and I want to draw illustrations for the book. This, though, is a work in progress and will take some time. I write more as a hobby than as a profession - just because it is fun. I love to read, and over time, I have read many classics including War and Peace, Crime and Punishment, Dante's Inferno, and many of Shakespeare's plays. Only recently did I read Pride and Prejudice. It was the A&E version that piqued my interest. I believe it was my interest in reading, even as a child, that sparked my interest in writing. I currently have a number of stories published on fanfiction.net, but they are Twilight and Labyrinth stories.
