What's new in Spring/Summer 2009?
HASTUR LORD, the next Darkover novel, has been scheduled for early 2010, from DAW Books. Based on a partial manuscript written by Marion Zimmer Bradley during the last year of her life, this novel fills in the gap between WORLD WRECKERS and EXILE'S SONG, as Regis Hastur, Danilo Syrtis, and Linnea Storn resolve differences to keep Darkover independent of the expanding Terran Federation.

Welcome to the home page of Deborah J. Ross -- writer, teacher, martial artist, library fairy-godmother, dancer, mother, ex-chiropractor, refugee from Los Angeles. I started writing as Deborah Wheeler, and you can still find my books and short stories under that name. To find out more, click on Past Lives.
My misspent youth was passed in California and Oregon, growing my hair long, protesting everything and gathering useless academic degrees (bachelors in biology, masters in psychology, doctorate in chiropractic) before realizing the true "work of my heart" was storytelling. In between all this, I studied martial arts (tai chi chuan with Marshall Ho'o and kung fu san soo with Jimmy H. Woo), taught physiology, lived in France, struggled to maintain a literary career as a single working mom. Now I live in a redwood forest with my second husband, writer Dave Trowbridge, and work part time as a medical assistant to a cardiologist to give my brain a break from writing.
