Debbie Whittemore

I have a B.A. degree with a major in English and a Master's in Library & Information Science. I love books, reading and writing. I write short stories about online dating experiences. The stories will be made into short films for a series entitled E-motions (the first one, The Last Wife, is currently in pre-production).

For the past four years, I've written a blog for the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance (SIBA). SIBA is a trade association which represents over 300 bookstores and thousands of booksellers in 11 SE states. My blog is Consuming Books and reaches the book buyers in those 11 states. I also Twitter for SIBA @reedenwright.

I created the Southern Indie Lit Crossword Puzzle Book for SIBA. The crossword puzzles were inspired by the winning titles of the SIBA Book Award, honoring ten years of the very best in Southern literature as chosen by SIBA booksellers. The puzzle book was the first book chosen to be published by SIBA.

In addition, I write articles and blog for a new online advice column, Dear Daphne. Currently, the website is in the testing phase. My articles have also been published in several online article directories. I have written two novels with an online writing group. The novels are being shopped to publishers
