About Me:

Simpson was Born in the Borough of Queens, New York and raised in Central New Jersey. Beginning her amateur writing career at the young age of 9, she fervently wrote from her grade school years through her high school years, filling volumes of spiral notebooks with dark, contemplative and emotional poetry. Graduating high school at the age of 17, she immediately started full-time work as a paralegal, alongside odd-part-time jobs to make ends meet. This left nil time for writing. At the age of 24, Deborah became a mother to her son, Nicholas. <br><br>After a long pause from writing poetry, Simpson began again around the age of 30, when her insatiable need to write resurfaced. With her passion reborn, her poetry began reflecting philosophical, spiritual and ancient deliberations. She joined various internet sites posting and reviewing the poetry of others, extending her support to aspiring poets. By the age of 35, Simpson had been widely honored for her poetry. <br><br>While continuing her career as a paralegal in personal injury litigation, she also works with other authors lending support and collaboration with regard to self-promotion and marketing.<br><br>November, 2007<br>The PoetrySoup International Poetry Award of<br>Excellence for the Poem, "Grounded"<br><br>Poet of the Month - August, 2007 Edition <br>Mondial Amour Entertainment Magazine <br><br>July, 2007<br>The PoetrySoup International Poetry Award of<br>Excellence for the Poem, "Prophetic Wind"<br><br>July, 2006<br>The PoetrySoup International Poetry Award of<br>Excellence for the Poem, "Dare I"<br><br>March, 2006<br>The PoetrySoup International Poetry Award of<br>Excellence for the Poem, "A Lonely Traveler"<br><br>Simpson is featured in several volumes of anthologies published by: The International Library of Poetry. <br><br>Inclusion in The International Who’s Who in Poetry <br><br>Memberships:<br><br>• Poetrysoup.com<br>• Academy of American Poets<br>• Writers.net<br><br><br>Publications:<br><br>• Beauty Forever Reigns<br>• Chronicles of a Sage: Spiritual Revelations via Canto<br><br><br>Website:<br>www.dsimpson.biz.ly<br>
