Name: Debra Mauldin
Fiction or nonfiction? Fiction
What genres do you write? Fantasy and Women’s Fiction
Are you published? I have a short story, Christmas Festival, published in ‘Dragon Knight Chronicles: A Knights’ Passage’. You can read an excerpt of the short story at: http://dkchronicles2013.wordpress.com/christmas-festival/ and buy the book at: http://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Knight-Chronicles-Knights-Collection-ebook/dp/B00MBPP8G8/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1411479148&sr=1-1&keywords=the+knights%27+passage+Dragon+Knight+Chronicles I’m currently working on a Short Story Anthology that I hope to publish in early 2015. You can read a couple of my short stories at: http://www.wattpad.com/69137829-anxiety and http://www.wattpad.com/70964753-haunted-by-d-b-mauldin I’m also working on two novels that I hope to publish in 2015; one is a fantasy and the other is a combination of fantasy, science fiction, and historical fiction.
Do you do anything in addition to writing? I write articles for http://dkchronicles2013.wordpress.com/ where I also serve as a judge for our bi-monthly writing contests and help provide Promotional Services.
Tell us a little about yourself. I live in northeast Alabama, on Weiss Lake, with my hubby, three dogs, and two cats. I am mother to two beautiful daughters and one beautiful step-daughter, and I am grandmother to six; four beautiful granddaughters and two handsome grandsons. My grandchildren are my world!
I love to read, garden, and fish. My hubby and I are both home-bodies, so we travel very little now. I spend my days writing, cleaning house, cooking, etc…
I am retired from the local school system where I worked as a McKinney-Vento Homeless Children & Youth Liaison. I am a certified Aromatherapist and still work with helping people heal with essential oils. I am very passionate about writing.
What are you reading right now? Dark Carnival (The Dark Trilogy Book 2) by Nancy K. Duplechain
Which authors influenced you the most? Anne Rice, Marion Zimmer Bradley, and Jean M. Auel

Is there anything else you’d like us to know? I will be working on my website, as time permits, and adding author pages as I go.

Your favorite authors are also favorites of mine. Hard to just pick a few, isn’t it? So cool you’re aromatherapist. I use different oils depending on what sort of scene I’m writing.

Besides my children dragging me everywhere, I also love to be a homebody. And when I am at home, I’m stuck to the TV, a book or a good movie. I haven’t fished in forever! The last time I did was with my dad and brother when we were younger.

I don’t have much interest in tv, so I’m mostly on my laptop reading, writing, or networking.

Debra, it’s so awesome to make your acquaintance through our participation in Follow Fest. I too am an aromatherapist, as well as a writer. Many of my nonfiction books contain herbal recipes. I also love Jean Auel (haven’t heard her name for far too long, so thanks), and Anne Rice. I’ve linked, followed and become your friend in many of the arenas you shared here. Hoping to stay connected.

In the pond behind our house, we fish, as well as feed them. It’s awesome to see all these little fish come to the shallow area to eat.
