Debbie Fritter lives in Southcentral Wisconsin with her husband, their four adult children, one grandchild and two horses (an Arabian mare and an American Paint gelding). Both Debbie and her husband grew up in this area and went to high school together, having met in 1972 just one year before graduation.
She finished her first manuscript in a month's time, joined Romance Writers
of America and the state chapter.  She did and finally finished what would be her first published novel ... The Perfect Match. Today Debbie enjoys life with her loving husband, work full-time

Debbie comes from a family of artists ... an aunt who did oil painting, a brother who is a cartoonist, a son and nephew who both strive to be on the silver screen, even her grand-daughter is showing the signs of writing her own picture books ... painting a picture of some kind is in her blood. Debbie's step-daughters and step-son are just as creative but in other ways.

Debbie first began writing in the early 1970s while in high school. She took every creative writing course that was offered (grammar was not my best course) at the time and focused my energy for many, many years after that time on poetry. It wasn't until a dear friend's sister revealed that she was going to become a published romance author that got Debbie's own ball rolling. She finished my first manuscript in a month's time, joined Romance Writers of America and the state chapter, Wisconsin Romance Writers of America. Like so many beginning writers, Debbie thought she was going to set the romance world on fire and everyone would think she was great ... surprise! The Madison Area of WisRWA had some of the toughest critiquers she'd ever seen ... and all unpublished (at least at the time). Well, you can just about imagine what she thought. But she hung in there, took her licks and tried to perfect a manuscript that still collects dust. Debbie tends to write slow, taking her time and making sure the facts right. When Debbie started her second manuscript, she was worked a full-time job, a part-time job and was a single mom. One day she decided that something had to go and dropped the part-time job and quit writing for a little over a year. Her writing friends won't let her forget about them though and finally convinced Debbie to come back to the fold. She did and finally finished what would be my first published novel ... The Perfect Match.

Today Debbie enjoys life with herloving husband, work full-time, write every other day for at least two hours, go to play with the horses on the days she doesn't write (weather permitting), and try to keep in touch with family members.

If it's one thing Debbie's learned over the years of her life it's that you can never stop dreaming and reaching for the stars, because sooner or later you just may get to touch one and it'll bring you more happiness than you can ever imagine. She feels she's been lucky enough over the past couple of years to have been able to reach out and touch two stars ... and Debbie's still reaching for more.
