Sweet Success for Debra Hunt

Published April 23, 2026

Congratulations to Debra Hunt! This Air Force veteran and retired social worker recently released her debut novel, UNLIKELY HERO (Friesen Press, February 2026). This is the fulfillment of a dream she’d carried for a quarter century. After deciding that someday needed to be now, she wrote the book in just 18 months. Weaving together themes of trauma recovery, resilience, and hope—anchored by the healing power of the animal-human bond—UNLIKELY HERO speaks to readers across multiple genres.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Heroes hide in plain sight.

A woman rebuilding after loss invites a charming stranger into her life only to discover danger arrives disguised as comfort—and survival means trusting the most unlikely ally of all. Purchase a copy through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or your favorite bookseller.
