Writer & Professional Digital Marketer
As a hobbist writer and professional digital marketer, my interests are many, but my passions are interwoven. A potent imagination and intellectual curiosity draw me to fantastical stories, scientific theories, and lively challenges. I’m a comic book fan, web comic glutton, PC gamer, tennis and golf dilettante, connoisseur of Asian culture, animal lover — my interests are many, and they all influence what I write. I loathe reading subtitles and translations and would much rather experience the culture directly, which compelled me to my multi-lingual capabilities in English, Japanese, Mandarin, Korean, and Spanish (SoCal essential).
Professionally I’m a corporate digital marketer who also serves as Adjunct Professor for SDSU and CSULB. This site is dedicated to my hobby writings, including poetry, short stories, and other in-progress literary works. I mostly enjoy writing supernatural fantasy adventure, light horror (especially ghost stories), and poetry inspired by life and the hereafter.

Bio
Deborah Amar is passionate about her career in digital marketing, but much of her analytical sleuthing skills in the marketing realm come from her love of diving into written works from her background in English Literature while studying at UCLA. From Milton, Mary Shelley, and Jane Austen, to H.G. Wells, Jim Butcher, and Patrick Rothfuss, the world of fiction is more than a playground for the imagination.

She is particularly passionate about Japan and Japanese culture, animals (especially, cats, dogs, dolphins, and horses), and working with different digital-related technologies.
