The first two SUPERNATURAL RUBBER CHICKEN books, Fowl Language and Fine-Feathered Four-Eyes, came out June 10!

My SUPERNATURAL RUBBER CHICKEN book got a great review from eight-year-old Andrew Oglesby on CNN on July 1 here!

The third SUPERNATURAL RUBBER CHICKEN book, Poultry in Motion, came out Sept. 9! It is available in bookstores nationwide.

I’ll be speaking to kids and grownups about writing and getting published and humor on Wednesday, November 12 at 3:30 at the Aliso Viejo public library in Orange County, CA. It’s free and it’ll be fun.

About Me

> Bio — Debby @ 7:40 am
dlgarfinkle.pngI’m a native Valley Girl, the second of four children. I’ve always loved to read and write. In high school I was active in drama and student council, wrote poems and short stories, and kept a journal. But my overriding interest was boys.

I majored in Economics at Brandeis University in Massachusetts. Then I worked for a few years, waitressing on the graveyard shift at Denny’s, teaching LSAT classes, and pushing paper at a big insurance company where I wrote a lot of short stories. Shh!

Finally, I settled down, sort of. I went to UC Berkeley’s law school, worked as an appellate bankruptcy lawyer in San Diego, married, had three children, and wrote my first novel. 

Now I’m a fulltime homemaker/writer in Orange County, California. In addition to writing novels, I write a humor column for local sections of the Orange County Register and how-to articles for magazines such as Writer’s Digest Magazine. I hope you enjoy my writing.
