Deborah Jacobson, a veteran English and Drama teacher in the New Jersey school system, began her writing career when her students began complaining about preparing for college auditions. Their frustration at finding overused, inappropriate, or unsuitable material motivated Deborah to write monologue and other drama books for teens. When not teaching, directing, or writing, she enjoys spending time with her family and focusing on an unusual hobby, collecting cookie jars! Deborah is thrilled to share her writing with teens beyond the walls of her classroom.
