About Debbie Macomber

How many people follow the dream they had as a child growing up? American Women's Fiction and Romance novelist, Debbie Macomber did just that. She realized that it was her dream to become a writer from the time she was in fourth grade. She did not act upon that dream (for fear of rejection) until she was 30 years old, and the mother of four children. She submitted many manuscripts, but all were rejected. She attended a romance writers conference, where one of her manuscripts, Heartsong, was selected to be critiqued by an editor from Harlequin Enterprises, Inc. Of course, that editor ripped her work to shreds with his criticism, and recommended she throw it away! Instead, she gathered the $10 fee and submitted the same manuscript to Harlequin's competitor, Silhouette Books. They published the manuscript, and Macomber's illustrious writing career began in earnest.

Debbie Macomber overcame her dyslexia to become one of the most prolific authors of romance novels. She sat in her kitchen, with four children, tapping out her work on an ordinary typewriter. At her peak writing, she was releasing two or three titles per year, with her first hardcover novel being released in 2001.

Most women today are very familiar with Macomber's current works, especially those that have been made into Hallmark Channel movies and series. The Christmas movies.......Debbie Macomber's Mrs. Miracle, Call Me Mrs. Miracle, and Trading Christmas.....have become iconic Christmas features. The Cedar Cove series was also a hit with not only Debbie Macomber fans, but Hallmark fans in general.

Macomber and her husband raised their four children, and now have grandchildren. They still live in Port Orchard, Washington, but now winter in Florida.

Goodreads review by Jean Marie on February 08, 2015

I found this book highly annoying. I'm no big fan of the love-at-first-sight (or sight after many years apart), followed by a sudden marriage. For there to be a plot, there must be conflict so then we have the constant bickering/misunderstanding between the couple. TALK to each other. If you can't d......more

this book annoyed me a lot more than i would’ve liked. i’m not a fan of the whole “love-at-first-sight” trope or “sudden-marriage” trope. and there were many moments where the “she’s/he’s not like other girls/boys” thing was mentioned. to have a working relationship, you have to talk to each other.......more

White Lace and Promises is a story of two childhood friends who meet again at their friends' wedding and decide on a spur of the moment decision to tie the knot. They elope secretly and then have to deal with scars of past loves. Both have baggage that they don't want to talk about, and that puts a......more

Goodreads review by Carolyn on January 09, 2015

I liked this book but it didn't keep me engaged as Macomber's other novels. I liked the romantic issues between Maggie & Glen. How they were childhood neighbors and met up again at a friend's wedding. Their impulsiveness to fly away the next day and get married, crazy! Maggie's curiosity over Glen's......more

Goodreads review by Katie on March 06, 2022

Eek. This was pretty bad. I’ve never wanted a couple to divorce so badly. Honestly if they last another month it would be a miracle. The two love birds are so whiny and wimpy it’s beyond frustrating. I’d slam my head into a wall if I had to witness this in real life. I have a 3 week old so I wanted......more
