Having lived off and on in Colorado for thirty-five years, she can�t go anywhere in the state without wondering about its stories. Her expertise (and favorite place on earth) is the Western Slope city of Grand Junction. When she first moved there in 1981, the oil shale boom was in full throttle. Within a year, Exxon left and the region emptied out. Learning about the area�s history helped Debbie endure the painful change. As she studied, she was intrigued by long-unsolved murders associated with Grand Junction and wondered if they could be solved with today�s technology. When her three sons had grown, she began her series of �mystoricals� with Stained Glass Rose, which won a 2003 EVVY Award and was recently written into a play by Two Chairs Theater playwright Joe Wilcox. Debbie�s most recent book, George Crawford�s Attic: Dusting Off Grand Junction, Colorado�s Past, won a 2009 EVVY Award for History. This fun compilation of little-known stories and facts commemorates Grand Junction�s 125th anniversary.показать меньше
