Debbie Hoke

Raised a reader, Debbie draws her life stories from her bookcase. The likes of Anna Karenina and Harry Potter are backdrops to Debbie’s explorations and revelations about her own relationships. After thirty years in Corporate America, Debbie dabbled as an adjunct professor, a design consultant, and a boutique dress shop clerk. Now, she reads and writes while overlooking one of the pristine Finger Lakes in central New York, where she lives with her husband and gathers family and friends to marvel at the sunsets.
