Debra Hocking was a preschool teacher for over twenty-five years. Her favorite part of each day was telling the Bible story. Teaching little ones about God in language that they understand has always been her passion. She finally decided it was time to put her stories down on paper. With the story written, she switched her pen for a paintbrush to bring the stories to life.Debra lives in her hometown of Charles City, Iowa. She is married to her wonderful husband Bob, who makes sure she has water and snacks when she gets into a creative flow. They have three grown daughters and ten grandchildren, who are the inspiration for her stories.
