2020 #3-UP CLOSE &PERSONAL W/ DEBORAH KING



Deborah King has been a writer and storyteller her whole life.  She published her first short story when she was seven years old. When she’s not writing, Deborah enjoys cartoons, cooking, photography, and old Star Trek.  Born and raised in Chicago, Deborah has managed to achieve all of her childhood dreams and still lives in the area with her husband and two youngest children. According to her daughter, she has “literally aced her life!”

Please allow me to present, for your review consideration, my debut Women's Literary novel GLORY BISHOP from Red Adept Publishing (published 8/2019).

In 1983 on the south side of Chicago, Glory Bishop lives her life in pieces. At work and with her friends, she reads novels, speaks her mind, and enjoys slow dances and stolen kisses with her boyfriend, JT. But at home, Glory follows strict rules and second-guesses every step. Though she dreams of going to college and living like a normal teenage girl, her abusive mother has other ideas.

When JT leaves to join the navy, Glory is left alone and heartsick. The pastor’s son, Malcolm Porter, begins to shower her with attention, and her mother pushes Glory to accept his advances. Glory is torn between waiting for true love with JT or giving in to the overzealous Malcolm.

When a stranger attacks Glory on the street, Malcolm steps in to rescue her, and her interest in him deepens. But the closer she gets to him, the more controlling he becomes. Glory must eventually decide whether to rely on others or to be her own savior.

A free review copy is available at BookSirens: https://booksirens.com/book/HIJCMNK/MEO1FPR, or I can send you a copy in whichever e-format you prefer.  
GLORY BISHOP, a coming-of-age story, is rated for high school age and up, but does come with trigger warnings for profanity, sex, abuse, religion, and violence.
