When Shadows Bleed

Debra Noir lives at the intersection of vital pulses and dark desires. Debra has spent more than ten years balancing the demands of frontline healthcare with high-level professional leadership. She remains deeply rooted in the vital pulse of medicine, navigating the fast-paced reality of the industry with the same dedication she brings to her craft. But when the scrubs come off, the clinical world fades, and the shadows take hold. Writing in the quiet hours between shifts, Debra crafts dark, atmospheric romances where the supernatural and the heart collide. A lifelong horror fan with a deep-seated curiosity about the world of vampires, she has spent years fascinated by the things that go bump in the night. This obsession eventually culminated in the birth of Starr Knight, a character who has haunted her mind for a lifetime. Fueled by her own ambition as a strong, independent woman, Debra weaves her love for the paranormal into the lives of complex, powerhouse female leads-starting with her debut novel, When Shadows Bleed. When she isn't lost in a manuscript, you can find her chasing chills through true crime podcasts and horror movie marathons. She is also dedicated to defining her own aesthetic through the artistry of makeup, lashes, and Gel-X nails. Above all, she finds balance as a wife and mother of two adult sons, finding beauty in the equilibrium between the light of the ordinary and the magic of the unexplained. Step into the Shadow Circle, where the pulse of reality meets the dark allure of the supernatural.
