After 10 years, my website, www.deborahfreedman.net has a shiny, new look! I hope you will take a look around — at gobs of information, resources for readers and writers, pretty pictures, and news updates. And for anyone who enjoys the occasional email newsletter with “sneak previews” and suchlike, it’s easy to sign up.
I’ll be posting news over there from now on. Thanks for stopping by!

I’m proud to be a member of the Nerdy Book Club. You may be a member too, and not even know it…
To see the rest of this banner and its band of readers, head on over to the club’s brand-new site! I’m truly honored that my artwork now greets the enthusiastic, generous, and openhearted readers who congregate there.
