Debra Clopton is a USA Today bestselling & International bestselling author who has sold over 3.5 million books. She has published over 81 books under her name and her pen name of Hope Moore.

Under both names she writes clean & wholesome and inspirational, small town romances, especially with cowboys but also loves to sweep readers away with romances set on beautiful beaches surrounded by topaz water and romantic sunsets. She recently launched her first wholesome women’s fiction with romance and combined both her love of cowboys and beaches in her new Star Gazer Inn of Corpus Christi Bay series. She and readers are loving the experience!

Debra is a multiple award-winning author, but of all her awards, it is her reader’s praise she values most. If she can make someone smile and forget their worries for a few hours (or days when binge reading one of her series) then she’s done her job and her heart is happy. She really loves hearing she kept a reader from doing the dishes or sleeping!

In 2016 she decided to take control of her publishing career and returned contracts along with advance money to her traditional publishers of 10 years and opened her own publishing company and never looked back. Her books now sell worldwide and are regulars on the Bestseller list in the United States and around the world.

A sixth-generation Texan, Debra lives on a ranch in Texas with her husband surrounded by cattle, deer, very busy squirrels and hole digging wild hogs. She enjoys traveling and spending time with her family.
