More about what I do:
Debbie Burke is a fiction and nonfiction author, an avid jazz blogger, and an alto saxophone musician. She is the author of Death by Saxophone, Tasty Jazz Jams for Our Times (TM) (Vol. 1, Vol. 2 and Vol 3), Klezmer for the Joyful Soul, Icarus Flies Home, Glissando - A Story of Love, Lust and Jazz, The Poconos in B Flat, Music in the Scriptures and The Author's Little Red Guide to Editing, as well as the very special book, Knowing Irv: The Life and Art of Irving Schiffer, which honors the creative legacy of her father. Her most recent work is THE METEOR SYMPHONY, a compilation of short stories, poetry, and microfiction about jazz, poker, falling in love, sunsets, and life's amazing adventures.
She founded her blog, debbieburkecreative, in 2016 and has been going strong with essays on midcentury modern art, photography (including showcasing her own photography that features industrial design, architecture, and the liminal), as well as hundreds of interviews of jazz artists. She is also a professional editor and author coach at her company, Queen Esther Publishing LLC.
Brooklyn-born, Burke has lived in six different states in the eastern half of the US, but most of all loves being near the ocean. When she isn’t writing, she’s learning new licks on the sax.
