There will be a new children's book going to the publisher in October called BUMP! It's a picture book in rhyme about a young child's first trip out in a kayak. Yes, Debbie does write about things other than mules. You will love this one with a clever rhyme and colorful illustrations that follow the adventure on the water. Look for it this winter! Look for it by December 2025!
Debbie read two of her books, WILD BILL, DO YOU WANT TO BE A PACK MULE? and WILD BILL, PACK MULE OF CAMP CARLIN at Sealey Elementary in Tallahassee this June.
Debbie will be selling all three of her Wild Bill books and stick mules, horses and unicorns at Mule Day in Calvary, GA , November 1st. Come by and get a free bookmark for each of her books, and she will be happy to sign anything you purchase!
Debbie was in Cheyenne, WY in July 2025 to assist with F.E. Warren AFB's Camp Carlin Run during Frontier Days. Lots of her authored books and Stick Mules were sold!
Debbie gave a talk on Historic Frontier Forts and Army Mules in May at Quincy, FL Rotary Club.
Deb went to Stanley, North Dakota to view two World War II army pack mules in bronze at the Veteran’s Park. She wanted to acquire a “North Dakota perspective” on pack mules before reading to kindergarten students at Park River Elementary in Park River, North Dakota on Monday, October 25th. It was an enjoyable learning time for us all. Thank you to the teachers!
Discussion Topic: How do you become an author?
Two sessions were held on October 13th and 16th for the Snowy Range Academy kindergarten in Laramie, WY.
(This event was not open to the public.)
Camp Carlin Supply Run in July, was a great success for its 3rd year during Cheyenne Frontier Days! We had over 130 participants of ALL ages, sold 10 copies of Wild Bill, Do You Want To Be A Pack Mule? books, and sold 4 stick mules (one that was autographed by Debbie).
Come see us next July! Better yet, contact Debbie to assist you in creating your own Mule Delivery course, like she did in Fairplay, CO.
With assistance from the South Park City museum staff, we changed the name to Donkey Delivery. Similar to Camp Carlin Supply Run in Cheyenne, Donkey Delivery in Fairplay worked in reverse. The mining donkeys would come into town and pick up supplies for those in the mining camps. (This really happened in the 1800s in the mountain towns!) Anyway, the event was well attended and applauded as a new edition to Fairplay’s Living History Days! Just look at the photos!
