Meet Deborah Gaines

DEBORAH GAINES is a Maplewood-based writer whose work has run the gamut, from Nancy Drew mysteries to a long-running travel column for the New York Post. But she is probably best known in her neighborhood for belting out K-Pop tunes while she walks the dog. Widowed in 2020, she has two grown children. She’s grateful to this wonderful community, and especially to everyone who encouraged her to get up on stage today.
