About

As a young girl, Tabitha's father mysteriously walks out the front door, with nothing but his coat and umbrella, never to return. But as we learn in "Vanishing" nothing disappears completely from our lives. Tabitha vanishes from her own life, and we are left wondering if we can ever really know a person, or ourselves. With elegance and craft, Deborah Willis's stories linger, as her characters vanish between the pages. Deborah Willis was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta. Her work has appeared in the Bridport Prize Anthology, Event, Grain, and The Walrus. She was the winner of PRISM International's short fiction prize, and her stories have been translated into Czech, Hebrew, Italian, and Vietnamese. She graduated from the University of Victoria and has worked as a horseback-riding instructor and a newspaper reporter. She currently works as a bookseller in Victoria, B.C.
