Deborah M. Reinhardt

For more than 30 years, Deborah Reinhardt has worked as a travel writer and editor. She started with newspapers before moving to magazines. Deborah loves to tell and present stories that spark a spirit of discovery in her readers.

Her job has given her opportunities to travel throughout Missouri, the United States, and several other countries. She says, “Meeting people during these trips has shown me that we’re really more alike than different. Travel fosters an understanding that is unmatched in most other activities.”

Her book, "Delectable Destinations: A Chocolate Lover's Guide to Missouri," received a first-place award (travel book/non-fiction) in 2017 from the National Federation of Press Women.

With "Show•Me Adventure Kids," Deborah has stepped into the world of fiction, writing chapter books for children 7–10 years old that will spark imaginations and empower young readers to explore and make a difference in their world.
