Deborah Chester

Since beginning my professional career as a novelist in 1978, I've had over 40 books published, including Regency romances, young adult, science fiction, and fantasy. Some of my early science fiction was published under two pseudonyms -- Sean Dalton and Jay D. Blakeney. More recently, I wrote a fantasy young adult trilogy under the name C. Aubrey Hall: CRYSTAL BONES, THE CALL OF EIRIAN, and MAGE FIRE. Currently I hold the John Crain Presidential Professorship at the University of Oklahoma, where I teach novel and short story writing in the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication.
