Join us for Debby Hackbarth’s last signing!!

Deborah Hackbarth is a retired teacher, learning specialist, and administrator. Debby’s fifty years in various educational settings helped her understand that all students enjoy using their imaginations. Debby is a survivor as she was born six weeks early and developed R.O.P., so she has low vision. She knows what it means to overcome tough situations in life.

First of all, Debby is a professional author who has written the Glisten Trilogy – three separate books highlighting the Fairhope Dragon – along with the companion coloring book for all ages. Debby believes that many people around the world are captivated by the dragons around us. The Glisten books highlight the challenges and adventures of Glisten, a tiny dragon born very early, who thrived in the beautiful climate of Baldwin County. The exciting books are for sale by at Page and Palette in Fairhope, on Amazon at www.thefairhopedragon.com, and by Deb’s business (HAART, LLC). In April of this year, Debby had an author signing at Page and Palette. She will have another on 9-23-23 from 1-3 pm. In addition, she was a guest speaker at the Fairhope Library at the April Author’s Night. She has published poetry and is currently working on a book of poetry.

Secondly, Debby is a professional artist. At Melt and More in Fairhope, she sold gnomes and other art – tiny canvases featuring black and white sketches that feature animals and scenes of the Fairhope area. She enjoys using recycled wood in her creations. Debby can personalize the gnomes and canvases as well as other creations on wood. Now, her art is for sale online through her business.

Finally, through her business – HAART, LLC – Debby provides private professional tutoring sessions. She is well qualified to work with students of all ages because she has been working in the field since 1972 and she has two separate Master’s Degrees in Education: Special Education (Learning Disabilities) and Curriculum/Instruction (Literacy). She sells Memory Magic – a supplemental program to enhance reading, writing, and spelling skills for students of all ages. You may contact
