Deborah K. Frontiera

Deborah K. Frontiera often thinks of herself as divided between two very different worlds: The “Copper Country” of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula (home of Yoopers) where she grew up, and Houston Texas where she made a living from 1985-2008. The two worlds couldn’t be more different. The Yooper world has small towns, forests, lakes and fantastic scenery. The entire U.P. population could fit in one small corner of Greater Houston! The whole peninsula has only ONE area code: 906. That’s where her heart is—and it is reflected in a lot of her writing. But Houston has left its mark on her, too. That’s where she spent 23 years teaching in Houston Independent School District, and where she was active with Houston’s Writers In The Schools (WITS) program for several years sharing her creative writing and teaching talents with many students each year. In 2020, when her husband fully retired, the two moved back to Michigan's Upper Peninsula but return to Houston for part of each winter to be with grown children and grandchildren.
