Deborah J Barker was born a policeman’s daughter, in Essex, in 1956. Married with five children, she has lived in Hampshire for over 30 years with her husband and family and an assortment of dogs. Having published short stories in women’s magazines since the mid nineties, Deborah has also written a humorous, monthly column for an American magazine aimed at cat lovers, in the guise of her dog. Her Letters From Britain column was published online, by America Online, in the late nineties and developed into her current blog, Living Between the Lines, which has observed life with a wry smile since 2010. Deborah's ambition was to live in a rambling house in the country overflowing with books, children and dogs and she believes she has achieved this. The Ghost Girl at Angel Cottage is available on Amazon as a paperback and as an ebook. It was previously published as Once Upon A Christmas Eve. Her second novel, Trouble Next Door, is about to be released.
