About Me
Deborah Quinn has lived in New York for twenty years: nine years in Brooklyn and eleven in Manhattan. She tries not to make too much of the fact that each time she moved out of a particular Brooklyn neighborhood, it became a totally hip place to live (Fort Greene, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Park Slope). She is, variously, a writer, an English professor, a mother, a wife, and co-president of the pta at her older son's school. She has two boys (4ish and 8ish) and is married to a third, which means that simply in order to survive, she has had to become fluent in the arcana of Star Wars.
