Deborah Warren first knew she wanted to be a writer in elementary school, when she received an award for an essay she submitted to a writing contest sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Warren spent her growing-up years, in New Castle, Delaware, playing Little League softball, listening to music from her father's extensive vinyl album collection, riding her bike, and staying up late into the night, reading. She currently resides in southwest Virginia where she finds joy in quilting, playing and writing music, and reading, but not so late into the night. She frequently walks in a park beside the New River, very close to where Mary Draper Ingles lived many, many years ago. Listen to the River is Warren's first children's picture book.
