Book Signing
On June 16th 2016,
I was at Chapters in Point Claire for a book signing and Meet n Greet where I was happy to meet up with readers and answer questions. The people at Chapters are awesome, and it was so much fun to chat with people of all ages who love reading, great adventures and meeting authors!
The big pic from above was taken in October at a later book signing. I love setting up and making swag I can give away to my readers. I even had mini book key chains!
On October 10 2015,
you will be able to come out and meet Debbie Brown Author at the Pointe Claire Chapters store, off Highway 40 W in Montreal, (West Island). I will be on site between noon and four PM.
Oh! and I will have some copies of Snow Job with me as well, even though the official release date is October 15th.
Below is a picture from that day!
School Visits
January 2015
Next week I will meet up with the students from another High School. The school ordered several copies of Amethyst Eyes, (book one), Emma and Rebirth for the students to read. (I will bring Book 2 in the Amethyst Eyes series since it is now available.)
This is actually quite exciting since it will be the first time I talk to a group who will have read the books. A little nerve-wracking too, since as an author I get stressed out when someone says, "I'm reading your book!" So, I am not sure what to expect or how it will turn out, but I will post more after the event is over.
It was wonderful to have met a group of students that had read my book beforehand. The questions were very different from the more typical ones I am usually asked, because they were more specific and book related. I enjoyed my time with these students and look forward to meeting new ones.
This student happened to be sporting a very appropriate hoodie for the occasion!

I had the pleasure of returning to my old high school, (in Qc, Canada that is grades 7-11), and talking with students who have the same English teacher I had many moons ago. I was pleasantly surprised when my English teacher sent me an article written by a student.

Debbie Brown Author Visits Rosemere High School (RHS)
By Elizabeth Hua
Secondary 1
On Wednesday, February 13, 2013, Ms. Debbie Brown came to visit our Secondary One English class to talk about writing. Ms. Brown is a former student of Rosemere High School and has successfully published two novels. One is called Amethyst Eyes, and the other is called Rebirth. She writes these wonderful books using her vivid imagination and great skills in writing. She spoke to us about how everybody creates stories, but not many actually take the time to write them down for others to enjoy. She said that experiencing things and staying attentive is the best way to be able to express feelings and realistic events through words. Using our five senses also helps to convey emotions and make scenarios believable. Ms. Debbie Brown told us a bit about her life, the things that she had accomplished, what her books are about, and what inspired some of her novels. One was inspired by a short story she had written in high school. Near the end of class, she got us to do an activity in which we were asked to write a word for each sense describing what you would feel, hear, see, taste, and smell if you were at a beach. Her amazing ability to share her experiences and opinions about writing, and her passion for what she does have inspired many secondary one students to pursue their goals. We, as a class, are more determined than ever to accomplish our dreams and to put our best efforts into everything that we do. If we work hard, we can achieve anything. Writing is truly magical, and should be properly appreciated. Many do not realize how much effort and time actually go into writing a novel, or even a poem. Each word is specifically chosen to fit the mood the author has decided to set. Hearing what a real author has to say about writing has been a truly refreshing experience.

Events, Public Speaking, Book Signings and More
This was my first book signing...anyone notice Scully and Mulder lurking in the background?
I was fortunate enough to have 2 high school presentations as well as another presentation for the Rosemere Volunteer Group, where to my surprise, they purchased a whole case of books.
I am still waiting on pictures. I guess I will have to bring my own camera next time.
