about me

Deb E was born in New Zealand’s North Island, but her parents corrected that within months, moving south to Dunedin and staying there. Childhood nights were spent falling asleep to cover versions of Cliff Richard and the Shadows and other Rock ’n Roll classics played by her father’s band, and days were spent dancing to 45 LPs. Many of her first writing experiences were copying down song lyrics. She graduated to scientific reports when she studied a nematophagus fungus in the Zoology department of the University of Otago, trading all traces of popularity for usefulness… then traded both for fiction.

Deb lives in Dunedin, New Zealand with her family and a menagerie of pets.

****READ: Hello fellow Authonomites. I love the premise of this website. What I don't love is the spamming, read-swapping, and the totally refreshed bookshelves some people do every few days, once they've picked up some reciprocal backings, of course. My book, "Healer's Touch" is now published, and I'm quite busy with that (I'm also a mum and work, and have other hobbies, too!). I do love to read up and coming stories. So, if I have the time, I shall return here to check some out. But, please, I can't promise a read. So I'd rather you didn't ask. If you're curious as to whether or not you would like to read my book when it comes out, I'd love it if you'd look (of course), but you don't have to.
I look forward to checking out more up and comers and I appreciate the lovely people I have met around here.

"The Black Prism" by Brent Weeks!!! READ THIS BOOK.

Banks novels, I also like Marian Keyes, Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander" series (first 3 books, anyway ... a little dubious on the later ones), David Eddings' "Balgariad" & "Malloreon" ... So very many.

Warrior's Touch (Book 2 in the....

Deb E Howell

The ultimate betrayal exposes a new enemy and forces Llew and Jonas to ally with a former nemesis.


Llew faces an uncertain future: one nation wants her to mother their future army, another wants her dead, and Jonas’ brother wants her blood to fuel his magic. The simple answer would seem to be: fall in love with Jonas and let him be her champion.

That’s all good and well, but Llew remains determined to make her own way in life, and won’t be falling in love just because it makes practical sense. But when the last living Immortal regains his powers, the world will face an evil unparallelled for centuries.

Stopping him will require allegiances both unusual and undesirable.

 

Healer's Touch

Deb E Howell

A girl whose power to heal also brings death fights to keep her freedom.


Llew has a gift. Her body heals itself from any injury—but at a cost to anyone nearby.

In a small country ignorant of magic, freeing oneself from the hangman’s noose isn’t a good look. After dying and coming back thrice, Llew drops from the gallows into the hands of Jonas: the man carrying the knife with the power to kill her—permanently.

The last of his warrior race, Jonas is surrounded by the ghosts of his loved ones. At his side, the cursed knife that took their lives. Jonas has learned the hard way that caring for others means their death.

Jealousy of his half-brother’s celebrated strength and speed drove Braph to create the device that gives him the power to perform magic, any magic. But it needs fuel—the blood of a healer ...

Healer's Touch is now available for purchase in electronic and paperback editions. On Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and coming soon from other distribution channels...

Right, well, you asked for my opinion, so I shall give it. From what I have read (which admittedly isn't much to date), you have what promises to be a highly emotional tale on your hands. On the whole the writing is clean and clear - nothing stood out to my unskilled grammatical/spelling eye. And I ... view book

A CLUB GRIMOIRE (Alternate - Reader Only) Review I think you've got a nice opening to a YA tale here. Sure, things are cruising along slowly to start with, but you do establish character and the central relationship, which will be enough to keep readers engaged, I think. My notes (taken as I... view book

Hi Su Dan, I don't know that I am qualified to comment on your story's entertainment value, as it isn't my kind of tale. But, since you took the time to swing by my book, and back it for a few days, I'll let you know what I think. I feel that the pitch could use some work. None of the questio... view book

The prologue certainly opens up may questions that a reader will want to know the answers to: just who are the McCormacks, for one? And who are these people keeping the shirt from the tribe? And why? It looks like it will be an interesting read. At the paragraph: Little Wing understood this alrea... view book

I think you have a good start here, though I wasn't toally drawn in. I'm a "fall in love with the characters" kind of girl, rather than "it's all about the plot" - and there are people who are all about the plot, so don't mind me. However, I wonder if you could benefit from a little more character d... view book
