Debra Davis Hinkle

Debra loves cats. Period.

She has a ham radio license; night vision goggles and enjoys watching animals from her deck and she likes to metal detect.

Debra’s mother, the Sunday school teacher, said, “She always tells the truth.” I guess that’s why she writes creative non-fiction. She can’t write fiction because it feels, to her, that making up stories is lying. She finds her Zen in her animals, and they inspire her poetry.
