DEb Elkink
Deb Elkink writes from her cottage on the banks of a babbling creek in the rolling hills of southern Alberta, Canada, a stone’s throw from the Montana border and home base for exotic travels with her husband of fifty+ years. Deb published her first bits of writing in college (BA Communications; Bethel University, MN), then married and spent twenty years as a homeschooling mom and ranch wife—rounding up cattle, earning her private pilot’s license, and cooking for huge branding crews. A graduate degree (MA Theology; Briercrest Seminary, SK) led to publication of a literary study on the fiction of G.K. Chesterton (Roots and Branches), prepared her as an academic editor, and jettisoned her into her long-held dream of writing "literary fiction with a theological twist." Her publications so far—incorporating travel and taste buds and the tumults of the heart—include two award-winning novels (The Third Grace and The Red Journal) and a collection of short stories (Vagabond Come Home).

Verse
Praise for Deb:
Deb’s writing comes from the depths of her soul and the richness of her life experiences. Her stories often take you to a foreign country or to a place that stirs forgotten memories. Wherever Deb takes you, it is always a place of self-reflection leading to a clearer understanding of what our souls truly long for and desire.~ Marjorie Miller
I love Deb’s prose. She writes with the fluid density of Ray Bradbury, sliding effortlessly between interior and exterior descriptions that immerse me in the narrative. Her short stories are rich dishes that need time to move in the reader. Quickly consumed, they linger in the mind and soul in images, remembered senses, mirrored memories, and clear connections to the soul.~ Brian Munroe
