Flashpoint

About the Book

In her career as an arsonist, she'd torched a new home construction site, the service garage of a trucking company and an apartment building. In Atlanta, she burned a racing stable and a hotel. From city to city, she torched buildings and took the lives of firefighters; keeping the promise she made to herself at her Uncle Henry's fire department funeral...

Flashpoint follows a female arsonist while telling of the life and death situations firefighters face each day and the family support system that stands behind them.

With all the "Usual Suspects" this mystery will draw you in like smoke draws firefighters into a burning building. Three women will cross the paths of the crew from Fire Hall No. 5 but only one will plan their death.

About the Author

Debra began her writing career with poetry and song lyrics and soon expanded her repertoire to include freelance features articles. Writing under the pseudonym of Ann Richards, she has been published in several Canadian magazines and newspapers, including both the Calgary and Toronto Sun.

Debra contributes the success of her work on in-depth research. Prior to penning Flashpoint, she spent considerable time inside fire halls across Canada and jokes that she is "the only person who has been through fire academy training in three different provinces and still hasn't made it to the fire floor."

Her second mystery… Don't Believe Everything You See… which takes the reader from an all-inclusive resort near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, to a funeral home in Denver, Colorado, and back again was released in the spring of 2008.

Debra is currently working on sequels to both of her novels.
