WHAT DEBBIE IS WORKING ON NOW: A historical middle-grade novel set in 1939 Guantanamo, Cuba, based on her uncle, a passenger on the infamous ship, the St. Louis. This doomed journey was the subject of the 1976 hit film Voyage of the Damned, starring Faye Dunaway. Debbie interviewed her mother, relatives, and friends about their lives in Cuba and acquired 300 pages of fascinating primary source material. Stay tuned!
About
DEBBIE REED FISCHER is a best-selling author and speaker, praised by Kirkus Reviews for “balancing weighty issues with a sharp wit.” Debbie’s father was a USAF colonel and diplomat, so she and her brothers grew up in many places, including England, Greece, Florida, New York, and the Washington D.C. area. Before the age of thirteen, Debbie had trekked through Egypt on a camel, floated on a gondola in Venice, played hide and seek in palaces and castles, gotten lost in the underground cisterns of Istanbul, climbed the Leaning Tower of Pisa, hiked the Samaria Gorge in Crete, touched the pillars of Stone Henge, and much, much more. Through it all, she dreamed of writing novels and film scripts, and is lucky enough to have done both.
