Deborah Adams is a bestselling mystery author, originally from Tennessee, who is best known for her "Jesus Creek Mystery" series. She published most of her novels in the 1990s, with a long break in between, and has continued to write on her blog about local green living and homeopathic awareness, a passion of hers.
