About Deborah R. Brooks I grew up in Maryland and as a child visited the Chesapeake Bay on family outings and with the Girl Scouts. As an adult, I lived in Annapolis and spent a lot of time sailing and boating on the Bay. I love a quiet beach to really relax and unwind. My dog likes to accompany me to the beach for swims and long walks looking for sharks teeth and sea glass. I love to cook and have equipped the kitchen with everything I need to prepare great meals for my family and friends.
