About Deborah Wilde

Deborah Wilde is a global wanderer and hopeless romantic. After twelve years as a screenwriter, she was also a total cynic with a broken edit button, so she jumped ship, started writing funny, sexy, urban fantasy and paranormal women’s fiction novels, and never looked back.

She loves writing smart, flawed, wisecracking women who can solve a mystery, kick supernatural butt, banter with hot men, and still make time for their best female friend, because those were the women she grew up around and admired. Granted, her grandmother never had to kill a demon at her weekly friend lunches, but Deborah is pretty sure she could have.

Deborah also explores her Jewish heritage through her main characters and the mythologies that she creates. An avid reader growing up, she never saw herself reflected in the stories she read, unless it was about the Holocaust. Those are crucial stories to tell, but she wanted a girl like her going through a wardrobe or down the rabbit hole, so, she’s changing that narrative with Jewish woman having magic adventures with a huge dash of steamy romance.

TLDR: Pick up a Deborah Wilde book and enjoy magic, sparks, and snark!
