DEBRA MULLINS is the award-winning author of historical and paranormal romances. She has been nominated for the Holt Medallion, the RITA from Romance Writers of America and the National Readers Choice Award. When not writing, she is reading or traveling or working on her family tree-sometimes all at the same time. She is the author of The Truthseers series, including Prodigal Son, Heart of Stone, and Warrior of Fate. Born and raised in the New York/New Jersey area, she now lives in California with her family, where she doesn't miss snowstorms in the least and optimistically continues her search for real pizza.
