Debra Koehler cut her novel-writing teeth with the fantasy Amoran, the first volume of The Amoran Chronicles. She also writes songs, poems, and the occasional memoir piece, and has been published in the anthology Vintage Voices and the poetry anthology And the Beats Go On. She is a member of the California Writers Club and the Authors Guild.

Debra lives in Northern California with her husband, daughter, and three rescue cats, one of whom bangs on her bedroom door at five every morning demanding to be fed. The early start gives her plenty of time for writing cozy/epic fantasies.
