Debbie Lum is a native of Tampa, Florida and earned her baccalaureate degree in Mass Communications at the University of South Florida. She enjoyed a 28-year professional career in marketing. She was an accredited member of the Public Relations Society of America, serving that organization as Sunshine District chairman and president of the Tampa chapter. Always a competitor, the enticing games of Greek week and fraternity derbies attracted her to her college sorority, Chi Omega. Following graduation she was an alumnae volunteer and worked over ten years to build Greek housing at the university. College football is her hobby, as is treadmill walking, working in the yard, and eating in her favorite restaurants with her family and friends. She splits her time between Florida and Virginia with her husband and two college-age sons. PLEBEIAN REVEALED is her first novel, first in the Plebeian series.
