Debbie Rix has written eight novels, the latest of which - 'The German Mother' - will be published on 31st July 2023. As an ex-journalist, historical accuracy is key, and she strives to weave her stories around real life events. 'The research process is vital,' she says. 'I work on the principle that if I find something fascinating, then so too will my readers.'
Her novels have been published in several languages - including French, Italian, Czech and Russian, and 'The Secret Letter' and The Italian Girls' are available in paperback in bookstores across America.
Debbie spends a lot of time in Italy and that country is the setting for 5 of her 8 novels. When not travelling she lives in the Kent countryside with her journalist husband, children, chickens and four cats. She began her career with the BBC - initially as the news reader on Breakfast Time, thereafter appearing as a presenter and reporter on a variety of factual and light entertainment television series. She had a spell as an Agony Aunt, and has also written about gardens and gardening - one of her private passions.
