Best Seller Author, Debra Shiveley Welch was born in Columbus, Ohio and has lived in the Greater Columbus area all of her life. She now resides in Central Ohio with her husband, Mark, and their adopted son, Christopher, also a published author.
Debra is the recipient of the FaithWriter's Gold Seal of Approval - Outstanding Read Award for "A Very Special Child" and "Son of My Soul - The Adoption of Christopher," which also won the Books & Authors Excellence in Literature Award and Best Non-Fiction Book for 2007.
A third generation poet, Debra has been writing since age nine. In her early twenties she had her own column in the Baltimore Eagle Gazette. Later, she worked as editor for several newsletters, including as development editor for "The Parent Connection" for The League Against Child Abuse.
�??The defining moment in my life is the day that I became a mother, and our attorney placed my son in my arms. I drew him to me, breathed him in, memorizing his unique scent, imprinting his essence into my very being. It brought me full circle. I knew that this was a very special calling in my life, to be with this soul, and to share my life with this child. To this day, I revel in his unique perfume.�?�
Written while waiting to pick up her son from pre-school, "A Very Special Child was born." Debra wanted to tell the story in a spiritual way, and in such a manner that would make a child proud to be adopted. She also felt that it was important to reinforce the fact that he or she was loved from the very beginning. These feelings, therefore, were her muse, and "A Very Special Child" sprang from her heart, virtually complete with the first writing.
Debra is the author of three books: "A Very Special Child," a Best Sellers in English at Amazon Japan, "Christopher Bullfrog Catcher," written by her son at eleven years of age, and scribed by Debra, who also wrote its introduction, and "Jesus Gandhi Oma Mae Adams," Debra�??s first novel, co-authored with Linda Lee Greene, which recently made AuthorsDen Best Sellers at Amazon. All are available through Saga Books www.sagabooks.net and www.amazon.com.
Currently Debra is writing "The Adoption of Christopher," an autobiography, chronicling a woman�??s profound journey to the adoption of her son, and "Christopher�??s Family Table," a companion cook book to "The Adoption of Christopher,"
