Deborah Hale konnte es nie richtig glauben, wenn ihre Eltern erzählten, sie hätte schon mit sieben Monaten zu sprechen begonnen. Aber wie auch immer, eines ist sicher: Deborah liebt es, Geschichten zu erzählen, seit sie denken kann.
In ihrer Jugend las sie unendlich viele Romane über das Meer und schrieb auch mit einer Freundin zusammen ein Buch über Piraten, als sie beide dreizehn Jahre alt waren. Auf den Geschmack gekommen, schrieben beide einzeln weiter und lasen ihre Werke gegenseitig, nur um sich zu bestätigen, welch brilliante Autorinnen sie beide seien. Nun, damals war das ganz sicher noch nicht so.
Ein großes Steckenpferd von Deborah war Familiengeschichte; zehn Jahre lang dauerte es, bis sie alles lückenlos beisammen hatte und wusste, dass ihre Vorfahren im 18. Jahrhundert aus Britannien nach Kanada ausgewandert waren. Dieses interessante Hobby von Deborah Hale brachte ihr nützliches Wissen über die Gesellschaft der damaligen Zeit.
Dieses Wissen konnte sie ab 1992 besonders intensiv nutzen, als sie ihren ersten historischen Liebesroman schrieb. Diesen überarbeitete sie zwei Jahre später noch einmal, als sie von der Organisation der Romance Writers of America erfuhr. Aber ihre Bemühungen wurden nicht sofort mit Erfolg gekrönt. Erst als weitere unzählige Verbesserungen und Kritiken das Werk geformt hatten, war es soweit: Deborah Hale gewann 1997 den Golden Hearts Award der Romance Writers of America für die beste historische Romance. Dadurch war sie in die Topliga ihrer großen Vorbilder aufgestiegen und überglücklich.
Außerdem bedeutete der Preis ein riesen Sprungbrett für ihre Karriere; sie wurde von einer Agentur unter Vertrag genommen und begann, für Harlequin Enterprises Canada zu schreiben. Sie bekam endlich die große Unterstützung, auf die sie die ganze Zeit gehofft hatte.
Deborah Hale ist seit siebzehn Jahren verheiratet. Sie lebt mit ihrem Mann und ihren vier Kindern in Nova Scotia – zwischen der geschichtsträchtigen ehemaligen Garnisonsstadt Halifax und dem romantischen Annapolis Valley.
