[edit] Biography
Sabrina Jeffries lived a normal childhood until she was seven, when her parents decided to become missionaries and moved the family to Thailand. Over the next eleven years, Jeffries saw many adventures, including being chased by a baby elephant, playing in a rain forest, and having to experience the entire series of rabies shots. Because she only had her siblings to play with, Jeffries escaped into the world of books, reading everything from comic books to classics, with romance novels being her favorites.[1] She began making up her own stories when she was twelve, only to discover that every one of them was a romance of some sort. [2]
Jeffries earned a Ph.D. in English[1], intending to become an English professor[2] While serving as a visiting assistant professor of English at Tulane University[3], Jeffries attempted to develop an academic work on her dissertation.[2] She found herself bored with this attempt, and began writing a romance novel instead. After realizing that she enjoyed writing much more than teaching, Jeffries left the academic world to work as a technical writer, while writing novels at night.[2] Although her first attempt did not sell, after ten rejections Jeffries's second book was finally picked up by Leisure.[4] At this point, Jeffries quit her job to become a full-time writer.[2] She has since sold over twenty novels.[3] She has published historical romances as both Sabrina Jeffries and Deborah Martin, and contemporary paranormal romantic suspense as Deborah Nicholas.[5] Jeffries has won the Holt Medallion Award, the Maggie, and the Booksellers' Best Award and has placed on the USAToday Bestseller's list.[3]
Jeffries prefers to do her writing at a coffeehouse. When she is stuck on a plot problem she thinks through her ideas while on the treadmill. [6] Because her family's schedules fluctuate, however, she sometimes does not sit down to write until the middle of the night. In her limited spare time, Jeffries spends time making jewelry, putting together jigsaw puzzles, and reading.[7]
Jeffries lives in North Carolina with her husband and son, Nick, who is autistic.[1]
