Debra Salonen
Born and raised in Brookings, South Dakota, Deb grew up calling herself “an only child with four siblings”, since the youngest of the first four was ten when Deb was born. As an “only” child, she enjoyed the benevolent neglect of busy parents who operated a taxi cab company out of the family home. This meant lots of time to let her imagination run wild—every bike was a horse, every nook and corner a place to read and daydream.
