About the Author

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. What a journey this has been, and continues to be. I've needed every bit of support from family and friends. My husband Dave has welcomed my two young protagonists, Whitney & Edward into our home, and our two pups, Parker and Buddy, keep us both smiling. I taught middle grade students for many years. While I encouraged those aspiring young authors to pursue their dreams, I never imagined I’d become an author myself.

    "With likable characters and a captivating plot, Watson weaves a fantastical yarn that is thoroughly entertaining while showcasing the importance of universal values of friendship, family, and second chances through an immensely satisfying narrative.

    "In their continuing adventure, Whitney, Edward, and friends hone their powers while the threat, both through the portal and in quiet northern Michigan, grows. As our young heroes hold to their promise to stand strong no matter what, it's apparent that in any world, perseverance, loyalty, and true friendship are the hallmarks of success. Author Debbie Watson paints an amazingly vivid world of good versus evil in a tale that draws you in and holds you until the end. Highly recommended for middle-grade readers, teens, and adults too-fantasy and coming of age in equal measure!"

    "Important messages of growth and growing up can be found in the fantasy world of Dream Jumper. Readers will cheer on the characters, who find strength in standing up to a bully. The power of instilling fear in others can be wiped away when a bully's target finds the courage to stand up for what's right. The power and potential realized by this alliance of friends arises because of their belief in one another and their courage to be open to what lies ahead."

    "Those who venture north and cross the mighty Mackinac Bridge to the Upper Peninsula know it feels like entering a portal to a different world. In The Polar Bear and the Dragon, author Debbie Watson takes that understanding to a whole new level in this exciting story. With equal parts fantasy, adventure, and coming-of-age, YA readers (and adults, too!) will love following the exploits of Whitney, Edward, and their special friends as they explore the mysteries of Lake Superior and encounter fantastic creatures from another world."
