Hello and welcome to my home on the web. My name is Debra Webb Rogers, and I write fiction and create tatted jewelry under the name Violet Rightmire. I retired from the world of professional ballet several years ago, and I now divide my time between teaching dance, writing novels and tatting jewelry. I also enjoy tracing my family history and writing books on genealogy and history. So relax and enjoy browsing the site. You can contact me at this address:  2019 NEWS AND EVENTS: My tatted jewelry is now available at Treasures in the Pines in charming downtown Spruce Pine, North Carolina. Come by and select a one-of-a-kind holiday gift! I am excited to announce that my books JACKSONVILLE'S SOUTHSIDE and SAN MARCO have been chosen for sale at the Target location at 490 Marsh Landing Pkwy in Jacksonville Beach, Florida.
