APEX is my first novel, this is the link to pre-order a copy, but I have many publications in the fields of science, technology, and the art of teaching science and technology. More complete access to that content can be found on my business website, Munro Medical, LLC, and also on my LinkedIn profile, but I have handpicked the ones I believe my visitors here would find most interesting.

Below, you will find some initial articles on science and technology. Soon, there will also be chapters from APEX, short stories, articles on the craft of writing, and the complete report on how to successfully market creative work using social media.

On every walk, there's that one thing you see that On every walk, there's that one thing you see that brightens your day. From my new house, the walk to the bus stop offers this rock sculpture. I think of it as a woman crouching in an ornate cloak. 😍
2020 was a difficult year for most of us, but it a 2020 was a difficult year for most of us, but it also contained many bright spots for me, and I'd like to highlight a few of them.  I started the year in Tonga with my biomed students and my friend Dawn. Amanda became a divemaster and also released her first two singles, and Carolyn graduated with a Master's degree in clinical psychology and is establishing themselves as a counselor. Carolyn's new puppy, Luna, joined the family, making me a granddog-parent twice over (with Simba being my first granddog). I spent the lockdown hiking and knitting, and I even created some how-to videos on socks, which was fun. Once things returned to normal in NZ, I took advantage of the lack of tourists and had a road trip with a friend, taking in all of the south island. I also entered and won the HealthTech Supernode Challenge, providing much needed publicity for my research. I even obtained my New Zealand residency, which enabled me to purchase my first house here sooner than I anticipated. So, here's to us all having a prosperous and joyful 2021! Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas from New Zealand! It's summer here Merry Christmas from New Zealand! It's summer here and usually warm and sunny, although the next few days will be drizzly. I'll be celebrating with friends, as I can't travel to see my kids in Denver. Instead, @once_upon_a_munro, @amandamunromusic, and I are planning a Zoom Christmas, something I would never have envisioned a year ago. Thank goodness for the digital age we live in!
https://deborahmunroauthor.com/blog/ As a creative https://deborahmunroauthor.com/blog/
As a creative, I well know that feeling of releasing the product of my soul to the world. It’s about as appealing as walking naked down a city street, and on a bad hair day. To create is to be vulnerable, and so it is no wonder that so many of us cringe at the thought of exposing ourselves to critique, judgement, and perhaps even rejection.
