I live contentedly in southern Oregon with a menagerie of rescue animals and a small circle of delightful friends. Besides keeping busy with a part-time job and satisfying, community-enriching activities, I enjoy writing stories that appeal to readers who miss the comfortable, pleasant style of story-telling that was common in simpler times. My period novel titled The Bell Tower will soon be republished. Besides my cozy mysteries Downfall and Breakdown, available on Amazon are my modern mystery novel in print, Deathbed of Roses, and also two anthologies to which I contributed —“The Man Across the Table” in Gratitude With Attitude and “Lessons Grady Taught Me” in Pets Across America. I enjoy hearing from readers, so please contact me at deborahtellerscott@gmail.com.
