Deborah Stewart ChinnDeborah Stewart Chinn is a Louisiana native who has lived and worked in the Los Angeles area since the 1980s. Having been weaned on the novels of Eudora Welty and the short stories of Dorothy Parker, Chinn has crafted her style in a similar vein in a attempt to show homage to these two women writers who influenced her from a very early age. Chinn's first book, Peraphania: A Modern Allegory, was a reflection and commentary on the 2016 presidential election. Tender Verses is her first combined collection of both short stories and poetry.
