Deb News! Deb Lisa’s book FIFTEEN MINUTES OF SHAME (PLUME, MARCH 2008) received a fabulous endorsement from best selling author CLARE NAYLOR (LOVE: A USERS GUIDE and THE FIRST ASSISTANT) this week — “I was instantly hooked on Darby’s life which had me laughing and cheering her on as she gets mad AND even.”

Deb News! Deb Danielle’s book FALLING UNDER (PLUME, AUGUST 2008) received a wonderful endorsment from Founding Deb, TISH COHEN, author of Town House. “As heartfelt as it is tragic, FALLING UNDER tells the touching story of an artist’s childhood crippled by divorce and emotional neglect. A fearless, penetrating debut.”
