Deborah J. Lightfoot
Bio
Castles in the cornfield provided the setting for Deborah J. Lightfoot’s earliest flights of fancy. On her father’s farm in Texas, she grew up reading tales of adventure and reenacting them behind ramparts of sun-drenched grain. She left the farm to earn a degree in journalism and write award-winning books of history and biography. High on her bucket list was the desire to try her hand at the genre she most admired. The result is Waterspell, a multi-layered, intricately detailed fantasy about a girl and the wizard who suspects her of being so dangerous to his world, he believes he’ll have to kill her … which troubles him, since he’s fallen in love with her. Deborah is a professional member of The Authors Guild. She lives in the country near Fort Worth, Texas. Magic, mystery, murder, and romance. Waterspell: An intricate save-the-world fantasy adventure with complex characters, cosmic calamities, and the gothic sensibilities of Jane Eyre. “A riveting series. Well written, excellent world-building with an engaging plot in each book and well-developed characters. I was gripped right from the start with twists I didn’t see and unpredictability.” (Aria, NetGalley) “Captivating. I loved this series from beginning to end. Complex characters and unexpected plot twists kept me reading far too late into the night.” (Amy, Amazon) “An extraordinary book, four in fact! I read these over a five-day period and found the storytelling fantastic. See for yourself!” (Michelle, NetGalley) “Complicated characters, plot twists, romance, adventure, and magic — all written in a voice that immerses you in a fantasy world both foreign and familiar. Get the box set because you won’t want to leave this world.” (Beck Digs It, Amazon)
Fun Fact!
Much of Waterspell was written when I lived in Mexico on Lake Chapala, south of Guadalajara.
