Bowker Biography:
Deborah K. Frontiera

Deborah K. Frontiera, a native of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, has lived in Houston, Texas, since 1985 when she began teaching in Houston Independent School District. She has been published in non-fiction, poetry, fiction and children’s books. Two prize-winning essays date back to high school. Her first poetry appeared in an anthology produced by a creative poetry writing class at Saginaw Valley State College. Book-length non-fiction appeared in 1985 with the release of It’s OK To Be Afraid of the Water from Front Row Experience.

Teaching and family obligations took away from writing time for several years as she and her husband raised four daughters, but the idea for her fantasy trilogy, The Chronicles of Henry Roach-Dairier, would not go away. Six years in the writing, the first edition was released by the Writer’s Showcase imprint of iUniverse in 2000. Now, it is available in a new edition from Jade Enterprises separated into its three separate novels: To Build a Tunnel, New South Dairy Colony 50, and The Re-creation of Roacheria. Deborah’s poetry and short non-fiction have appeared in three juried anthologies.

Her years teaching kindergarten spurred the development of her picture book series, Eric and the Enchanted Leaf, with The First Adventure released in September 2004 by Jade Enterprises. The series presents concepts of biology and ecology through fantasy, the way young children learn best. Her current project is a piece of historical fiction for middle grade readers set in Michigan’s Keweenaw during the copper boom days.
