DEBORAH KUNZIE
AUTHOR/PHOTOGRAPHER
For more than five decades, I’ve been a wildlife photographer. Now, in my 70’s, I write books about some of those experience’s of personal reflections, mysteries, prose, and histories. Both fiction and non-fiction. And a few other surprises.
My stories live where memory meets imagination.
The Girl Who Photographed the Stars
(Fennlight – Where Stars Fall and Memory Lives)
In the quiet coastal town of Fennlight, where stars fall closer to earth and the night air carries both memory and light, a young woman named Elara spends her evenings photographing the sky. Three years after her sister vanished, Elara still searches for something she can’t quite name until her camera begins to capture what the eye cannot see.
