Deb Lucke is a writer and illustrator of children's books with an interest in bad behavior and horribly embarrassing incidents. Since her own childhood had plenty of both she is never short of material. "The Lunch Witch"--chock full of atrociously bad behavior, which for a witch is good behavior. No shortage of embarrassing incidents, either, owing to a habit of getting spells wrong. The first in a new series of graphic novels from Papercutz. Read at your peril!"Sneezenesia"--horribly embarrassing incident involving sneezes."The Boy Who Wouldn't Swim"--bad behavior and a horribly embarrassing incident resulting from fear. "The Book of Time Outs"--bad behavior in history.Prior to getting involved in children's books Deb worked with a lot of talented people in advertising from whom she learned how to trap and snare an idea. She also studied filmmaking which influenced the way she visually tells her stories. She finds camaraderie in a group of children's book illustrators that meets in the Hudson Valley and a group of writers that meets in New York.Deb lives and works in Cold Spring with her partner, Paul Hartzell, a writer. Both are occasionally badly behaved.
