DEBORAH FROESE

Deborah lives with her husband and three sons just north of Winnipeg, in St. Andrew's Manitoba. Before pursuing a writing career, she tried her hand at surveying, puppeteering, university studies and various forms of art. She also spent ten years working as an audio-visual producer, weaving stories from words, photographs, and computer generated graphics.

Each year Deborah conducts several readings and workshops in local schools and libraries. At Red River College she annually facilitates an introductory workshop for those interested in writing for children and young adults.
