Deborah Hawkins, penned Debra Renée Byrd, began writing after a blank book project in elementary school and never stopped, fashioning stories based on her favorite TV shows and movies before creating more original works. She studied at the University of the Arts and Florida State University before settling down and graduating from Temple University. She now resides in her hometown of Dover, DE, where she spends most of her time at work or at church. She loves fantasies, superheroes, is a trekkie and a brown coat. She loves television and lives for Final Fantasy video games, having collected most of them. She has read a myriad of authors, and her favorite authors change whenever she finds a new book that changes her life... "When you can't run, you crawl. When you can't crawl...well, you know the rest." -Tracey, Firefly, "The Message"

A Brief Rant on Unity

So I grew up in a Pollyanna sort of world where everyone liked everyone, and the struggles of the past were in the past...And then I moved and got a culture shock.

But I really wish there were no wars and hatred in the world, that people not even below the Mason-Dixon line wouldn't look at me and already have their own ideas of who I am and what I'm about because I'm black. I also wish other black people wouldn't look at me and devise their own ideas founded on ignorance that anyone striving for excellence and education and diversity wants to be anything besides black.

I'd love the world to live in unity and harmony and not suck sometimes.
