Debbie K Davis

Debbie Davis was born in Wilmington, NC. She graduated from Douglas S. Freeman High School in Richmond, Va, and attended several community colleges until she was accepted at Queens College in Charlotte,NC on a Ginter scholarship for returning women students. She graduated summa cum laude from Queens in 1984, and received an M.A. in English Literature from the University of Tennessee, where Irish Light is partially set. While prepping for her PhD exams she discovered Charlotte Smith (1749-1806), English poet and novelist. Irish Light is the result of Davis' intense study and aborption in the life and career of Smith, once the best-selling novelist in England in the late eighteenth century. Debbie has won several awards for her poetry, and she published a volume of it entitled Sinking Into the Sea this year. She has freelanced as a sports reporter, covering high school football. Irish Light is her first novel.

How Sweet this Dangerous Dream is a literary and political biography of Muammar Gaddafi. Shocked by the horrific events of 2011, Debbie set about researching Gaddafi and she quickly realized that the information she was discovering was virtually unknown in the West. She, then, began a mission to introduce Gaddafi to the Western world. She is confident that her readers will be amazed at the accomplishments of a poor Bedouin boy--for his country and for the world. Readers will learn why he remains alive in the hearts of millions.

She has recently learned she is direct descendant of George Washington (Generation 14) and is mentioned in Volume 8 of Justin Glenn's book, The Washingtons.

Debbie has 5 grown childen and lives in NE Tennessee with her 3 Beagles, Hami, Kammie and Sami.
