早期事业
Debbie Macomber is dyslexic and only has a high school education. She was determined to become a writer so she sat on her kitchen counter in front of her rented typewriter while raising her four children, to write her first manuscript. After five years and several rejections from publishing houses, she turned to a freelance magazine job. She attended the conference of a romance writer where her manuscript was selected to be critiqued by a Harlequin editor. The editor tore the 小说 and asked Macomber to throw it away. Macomber spent $10 to mail the same novel, Heartsong to Silhouette Books, the rival publishing house of Harlequin. Silhouette bought the book and Macomber’s first novel was reviewed by Publishers Weekly.
写作生涯
Macomber’s first published novel Starlight was a part of the romance line of Silhouette Special Edition. She continued to write romance for Silhouette and then later for Harlequin. In 1988, Harlequin asked her to write a series of interconnected novels, the Navy series. She started releasing two or three titles per year. By the year 1994, she began releasing single-title novels. Since 1986, Macomber released a Christmas-themed novella or book. In 2002, she realized that she wants to write more women-centric Books. Thursdays at Eight is her first contemporary women’s 小说.
Her Novels concentrate on delivering the message of the 故事 and they do not encompass detailed descriptive passages. The stories leave the readers with feelings of hope and expectations and her heroines tend to be more optimistic. Her novels take place in small and rural towns. Though her stories contain sensuality, however, due to her Christian beliefs she does not include sexual details in her novels. In 1988, This Matter of Marriage became a made-for-TV movie. Six of her works have been made into hallmarks television movies – Debbie Macomber’s Mrs. Miracle, Trading Christmas, A Mrs. Miracle Christmas, Call Me Mrs. Miracle, Mr. Miracle, and Dashing Through the Snow.
