Deb Smith went to college and law school so long ago it's not worth boring you with names and dates. After a long career working for the Wisconsin State Public Defender she came to her senses and retired. Like most lawyers, she always believed she could write fiction. She is a Wisconsin native and currently lives in Middleton. She has been a participant in the Madison Writers' Studio and managed to learn a thing or two. If this writing thing works out, no one will be more surprised than she.
