Debbie Macomber
"With more than 130 million copies of her books in print, Debbie Macomber is one of the world’s most popular authors.
The #1 New York Times bestselling author is best known for her ability to create compelling characters and bring their stories to life in her books. Drawing on her own experiences and observations, Debbie writes heartwarming tales about small-town life, home and family, enduring friendships and women who knit. Every book features the delightful sense of humor for which readers clamor. Not bad for a woman who is dyslexic and didn’t learn to read until she was in the fifth grade.
Her dyslexia did not deter the young mother of four from pursuing a lifelong dream of becoming published. She celebrated her first sale in 1982 when Silhouette Books acquired her manuscript, Heartsong. The book became the first category romance ever to be reviewed by Publishers Weekly. She was soon featured in Newsweek—and demand for her books quickly exceeded her wildest dreams. Now Debbie maintains a list of more than 130,000 readers, with whom she regularly corresponds.
...Debbie is a regular resident on the bestseller lists. Two of her novels have scored the #1 slot on the New York Times, USA Today and Publishers Weekly lists the first week on sale. She is the first-ever recipient of the“readers’ choice” Quill Award for Romance Fiction for 44 Cranberry Point, the fourth book in her highly popular Cedar Cove series. Debbie has also been honored with a RITA® for her 2005 holiday hardcover, The Christmas Basket; an RT Book Reviews Career Achievement Award and is a multiple winner of both the Holt Medallion and the B. Dalton Award. In July 2010, the Romance Writers of America presented Debbie with its prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award.
...
The prolific author lives in Washington state and winters in Florida with her husband. When not writing, she enjoys knitting, traveling with Wayne and putting on Grandma Camps for her grandchildren, for whom she has built a four-star tree house behind her home in Port Orchard."Sourced from author's website
My Thoughts: This author is CHRISTMAS to me! Plain and simple. Part of my new holiday traditions is to curl up with a Debbie Macomber book and then watch 'This Matter of Marriage' and 'Mrs.Miracle' on DVD or Lifetime. Debbie is an amazing author, has a prolific writing carrer, and just seems like a sweetheart of a lady. I look forward to watching more of her books get turned into motion pictures and I am happy to name her December's Author of the Month; cause really, who else should be in this spot?

So many incredible books that Debbie has written. In fact, recently I went to her Tea Room/Gift Shop and purchased some ornaments and some autographed books to give away for the holidays.
