Debra was born in London and grew up in NYC. She studied art in high school, majored in anthropology in college, and became an archaeologist. Seeking adventure, Debra lived on a small island in Micronesia for four years where she began to write travel and human interest articles that were published in Pacific area magazines and newspapers. During that time she also worked with the local historical preservation society to promote the island's stone ruins and museum. Debra has traveled all over the world and has visited over 50 countries and all seven continents. She wrote travel articles and published a travel zine while raising two daughters in southern New Hampshire. Several years ago, when rereading HG Wells' classic The Time Machine, Debra noticed a character named only once in passing. This sparked the idea of writing a story about the Time Traveler's assistant. The short story became a novel; the novel became a two-book series. Debra is currently writing a third book which is part prequel, part sequel to The Nomad series. When not writing, Debra creates art from natural objects and is a juried member of the NH Art Association. Her work is displayed and sold in local galleries. She lives on the seacoast of New Hampshire and she still loves to travel. A FAVOR: If you leave a review here on Goodreads please copy and paste it to Amazon. Goodreads is the place for discussion, but since Amazon is where people go to buy, reviews greatly affect book promotion on that site. THANKS! About The Nomad: Book One: "A bold and adventurous vision of humanity's future history, tapping into elements of sci-fi, philosophy, and pop culture. Readers are pulled into a well-crafted puzzle of prose, as Tillar has a sharp and clever pen. Compelling characters may drive this novel, but the futuristic worlds Tillar builds are highly inventive. The Nomad has a deeply creative premise, savage plot twists, and a narrative style that playfully bends the boundaries of storytelling." Self-Publishing Review
