Debbie BarnettDriven by a lifelong passion to challenge herself with new and diverse experiences, Debbie Barnett embodies an entrepreneurial spirit that has led her to establish several successful businesses. In her early twenties, she started a hand-knit kids war line that developed into a full-fledged business, Designs by Debbie. Then, after twenty years working in the insurance industry, Debbie left the 9-5 grind to devote her time to building D & L Property Investments, a successful real estate investment business specializing in helping those in her community resolve mortgage debt by mitigating foreclosures. Today, unwilling to hit the brakes on her ambitions and settle into quiet retirement, Debbie is still working part-time as a Realtor and Mah Jongg Instructor in South Florida. While Debbie's entrepreneurial spirit along with her creative side has led her to several successful businesses, it has now led her to pursue her love for writing. An avid reader and lover of words, she is inspired by the impact of a good book. As a firm believer in the motto, "It's better late than never," Debbie now dedicates much of her time to her newest venture, MahjCon, an event company that hosts online and in-person Mah Jongg events. Debbie has just completed her 4th edition of Unlocking the Secrets of American Mah Jongg, which is now a timeless step-by-step, illustrated guide on how to play American Mah Jongg. Her inspiration came from watching her mother play as a young child which led to her learning and loving the game as an adult. In addition to this "How-To" book, Debbie has written a memoir titled, Innocence Unraveled, Surviving a Torn Childhood. Read More Read Less
