Debra Borchert has had many careers, starting at the age of five as a model at a local country club where her crinoline petticoat dropped to her ankles in the middle of the runway.
Since then, she’s been a clothing designer, actress (she starred in her first television commercial with Jeff Daniels for S.O.S. Soap Pads) TV show host, spokesperson for high-tech companies, marketing and public relations professional, and technical writer for Fortune 100 companies.
Her work has appeared in The New York Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, The Christian Science Monitor, and The Writer, among others. Her short stories have been published in anthologies and independently. Her works-in-progress have been finalists in the 2018 and 2019 William Faulkner Wisdom Creative Writing Competitions.
Debra’s debut novel, Her Own Legacy, is the first in a series that follows headstrong and feisty women and the four-hundred loyal families who protect a Loire Valley vineyard and château during the French Revolution.
She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her family and standard poodle who is named after a fine French Champagne.
