Debra Scacciaferro

Debra Scacciaferro is a former award-winning newspaper reporter and arts critic for the Times Herald Record of Middletown, and the Daily Record of Morris and Sussex County. She lives in the Hudson Valley of New York, where her novel State of Innocence is set. After leaving the newspaper business, she worked as a researcher and assistant to her husband, bestselling author Jim DeFelice. A member of several writers groups, she wrote three unpublished novels, and began helping other writers polish their books and novels. She is grateful to her dear friend and colleague, Lorraine Ash, author of “Life Touches Life,” for introducing her to her STATE OF INNOCENCE co-author S.K. Mason, an Australian therapist and writer who was looking for an American writing partner.
