Deborah K. Frontiera often thinks of herself as divided between two very different worlds: The "Copper Country" of Michigan's Upper Peninsula (home of Yoopers) where she grew up, and where she spends her summers, versus Houston Texas where she has made a living since 1985. The two worlds couldn't be more different. The Yooper world has small towns, forests, lakes and fantastic scenery. The entire U.P. population could fit in one corner of Greater Houston! The whole peninsula has only ONE area code: 906. That's where her heart is--and it is reflected in a lot of her writing. But Houston has left its mark on her, too. That's where she spent 23 years teaching in Houston Independent School District and where she still is active with Houston's Writers In The Schools (WITS) program where she shares her creative writing and teaching talents with many students each year. In years past, she balanced full time teaching and raising four daughters with writing. Now she balances grandchildren with WITS and writing.
