More About the Author

Debra Salonen wrote her first story in crayon on the underside of her mother's coffee table. Her mother was not amused. Subsequent writing efforts included a screenplay for Flipper--in block print on lined paper (you can see why it never got picked up, right?), a spy thriller --okay, a blatant rip-off of James Bond; an Irma Bombeck-esque series of letters to her family, which might have come across as a tad more whiny than amusing, and, eventually, she enjoyed a four-year stint as an award-winning feature writer for a newspaper.

In 2000, her first romance novel was published by Harlequin for its Superromance line. That novel, THAT COWBOY'S KIDS, has recently been re-released, bringing Deb's total number of published books to 30. Her May 2010 release, UNTIL HE MET RACHEL, was honored by RTBook Reviews as the Reviewer's Choice for "Best Superromance of 2010."

In addition to her two current Superromance titles, RETURN TO THE BLACK HILLS and A FATHER'S QUEST, Deb is enjoying a renewed flirtation with short stories. Her first Kindle release, "A Hundred Years or More," looks at that special bond between a pet and his owner, and what happens when a pet--in this case, a parrot--outlives his owner.

5.0 out of 5 stars The value of inner beauty -- Recommended, August 10, 2001

This review is from: Something about Eve (Harlequin Superromance No. 1003) (Paperback)

Concern sends private investigator Matt Ross to Atlanta to find the sexy TV personality Eve Masterson. Matt was permanently injured following a tragic accident while he was a cop. Rather than accepting desk duty, he's agreed to become a private investigator with locating Eve as his first assignment.

Eve apparently quit her New York job for a fantastic opportunity in Atlanta, but she's not appeared on any of the news shows, and with Christmas coming, has been completely out of touch with family and friends. When Matt shows up on her doorstep, she's terribly ill and only his intervention offers hope that she might recover. But Eve's illness stems from more than just physical symptoms as she struggles with career goals, betrayal, and an identity crisis.

Debra Salonen presents a powerful reminder of the value of internal beauty over external beauty in SOMETHING ABOUT EVE. As Eve struggles with her identity issues, including adoption and appearances, the reader receives a strong reminder of our culture's misconceptions regarding the value of physical appearance. The narrative flow itself, however, lacks the expected fluidity, perhaps because this novel attempts to pull together so many narrative paths, including the struggles of parenting, recovery from illness or an accident, and reevaluation of career goals. Nevertheless, with strong characterization and excellent account of the challenges of non-custodial parenting, SOMETHING ABOUT EVE comes recommended.
