“Debra Anderson is a courageous writer, unafraid to explore and expose the deeper chasms in life. Combined with enviable craft, a big heart, a sense of humour and mischief, and that larger vision that makes a great writer, she holds her reader with a firm, delightful grip. We wish Debra great continued success, and look forward to more compelling stories from her.” -- 2009 Dayne Ogilvie Prize for LGBTQ Emerging Writers Jury (Derek McCormack, Shani Mootoo, and Karen Tulchinsky)
