About me: Welcome to my info page!
I am a writer of young adult fiction. Head Case (Roaring Brook Press, Sept 07) is my first novel. It is about seventeen-year-old Frank, who sustains a complete spinal cord injury following a car accident. He was driving. Two people were killed. I wanted to explore a character who felt trapped and labeled, a character who needed to rise above society’s judgments, forgive himself, and move beyond his mistakes.
I hold an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults from Vermont College. I used to be a physical therapist. Currently I work in the sales department for Jewish Lights Publishing. I live in New England. I really miss being in Manhattan!
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
Who I'd like to meet: Other readers and writers, librarians, booksellers, and teachers--anyone who likes to talk books, craft, and the process! I would also like to meet people who are motivated to advocate for people with disabilities.

Thanks for the add! Beth Fehlbaum, author Courage in Patience, a story of hope for those who have endured abuse http://courageinpatience. blogspot. com Chapter One is online!
Your book sounds really good and I love the subject matter. Anyway, keep in touch and let us know if we can be of any help promoting your book! We'll try. Lauren
Hey best myspace friend forever, Happy Thanksgiving!!!! I hope you are having the greatest life, because you are the reason I get up in the morning. This world needs more of you!!!
Your book sounds great - what a different perspective to take on a tragedy. I already want to know more about this kid, to get inside his head, which is the mark of an outstanding novel.
You know what's weird about myspace? You commented on my page, but when I comment back it only appears on your space. So people go, "what the heck are they talking about?" Thanks for saying you enjoyed my books! Has Head Case been reviewed yet? It sounds like a page-turner. Debbie
Hi Sarah. Congrats on Head Case. It sounds terrific. I really enjoy reading books about people who have to overcome obstacles and get on with their lives--and come to accept the consequences of their actions. It's on my "must read" list. So you are on the Roaring Brook Sept 2007 list? Me, too! Choices was released on Tuesday (Sept. 4) It's my second RB book, and my third overall. It's so nice to connect with you! I love, love, love the video! How did you find it? (I'm such a myspace amateur.) Thanks for the add! Debbie
