Thank you for visiting debradiaz.com.
My aim as a writer is not only to entertain you, or to draw you away (for a while) from problems and heartaches and just the plain old real world, but to give you something. I want to inspire you, to challenge you, to offer a little encouragement and hope.
I read Gone With the Wind for the first time when I was twelve years old, and I remember thinking that if Scarlett could stand this, or do this, then surely I can handle this little dilemma. And if I can't - I'll think about it tomorrow! I suspect one of the reasons for the book's popularity was the time it appeared on the world scene, just before World War II, and I think hundreds of people facing war and deprivation must have drawn courage from the determined (if slightly dysfunctional) Scarlett O'Hara.
That's what stories should do. Good fiction is more than words put together that have a beginning and an end. A writer should have the reader in mind at all times and be willing to share, through the characters, feelings and thoughts that connect with the reader, that strike a chord and evoke a response.
I want to create for you another world that you can walk around in and experience in your own way - and come back with a gleam in your eye and a feeling that - if they can do it, I can do it!
I hope that you will find in my books something memorable, something that goes deep, and makes your world a little better.
