Welcome.
Hi! I’m Deb Gorman and I write stories.
Stories of family drama, hurting relationships, tragic consequences, and the healing that comes when families listen to each other and forgive.
There isn’t a family on the planet who hasn’t been touched by heartbreak and betrayal. But God . . . He created the concept of family, and He cares deeply about ours.
I’d be honored to have you strap in and come along with me as we journey together, discovering all that God has planned for our families.
About Deb Gorman
I was born and reared in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I still live in my hometown with my husband, Alan, and our very smart German Shepherd, Hoka.
I am a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, cleverly disguised as a wife, mom, grandmom, and author.
My purpose is to connect with God’s most beautiful and clever creation, the human family, using the literary talent and imagination God gave me.
My prayer is that as we journey together, we will discover encouragement and redemption in our most important relationships.
Stories take us where we want to go...
Our Mission
Debo Publishing exists to create stories of reconciliation and redemption, and to utilize the literary arts to lead the next generation into the grace and mercy of God.
Debo Publishing
Are you wondering about the name of my company? Debo was my nickname growing up, springing from my siblings’ inability to say Debbie. It stuck. Even today, my older brother still calls me Debo sometimes.
Bee Curious
Are you curious about the bee on my logo? Let me explain. My name, Debra, means “bee” in Hebrew. Honey bees, according to some folks, make the perfect food.
And what is God’s Word to His people? The perfect food!

Here’s a brief run-down of my next three releases–two novels and a new devotional.
You’ll see below that one novel is now out in the world!
The Master’s Inn . . . Available now on Amazon!
A novel of human brokenness and
God’s still-unfolding drama of redemption . . .
When two wounded and dysfunctional families wind up unexpectedly at the remote Master’s Inn during a December snowstorm, it’s up to owners Tom and Barb Masters to help—except they’re dealing with their own bitter issues. As the winter snowfall confines them, the three families find themselves coping with their crippled relationships and hard emotions . . . and sometimes tearing one another down in the process.
But when a tragic secret is inadvertently revealed and a rebellious teenage girl takes off into the storm, chaos descends. Will they be tossed into more heartbreak, or will the crisis draw them together against a common enemy?
With a forest in Washington state as the backdrop, join Tom and Barb at their B&B as they strive to show Christ’s love to all who cross their threshold . . . even when it threatens their own sanity and safety.

The Fig Leaf Chronicles–Hiding From God in the Modern World
Do you have a favorite fig leaf in your closet?
Say what?
You know what I mean. Those coverings you pull out and wrap around yourself so that it’s easier to ignore God’s voice calling to you. We all have a fig leaf closet. It’s in our DNA–direct from our first parents.
This new devotional will release–oops, not ready to reveal a date yet–but stay tuned. Adam and Eve are still whispering in my ear about what they learned from their fig leaves.
And what they’re telling me sounds surprisingly familiar . . .
