Deborah Percy the British Writer
Deborah Percy is author of the FREE ebook, Gas Safety in the Home. She also writes a number of blogs:
Mrs Tara Plumbing is packed with opinionated comments about the construction industry and about her local area in east Kent.
Family with Twins is a slightly neglected blog.
A third blog, Tara Heating is more factual, its aim is to provide well researched information about home heating options to the general public. People change their heating systems very rarely so public understanding of central heating products is poor.
Deborah Percy's writing for the web:
In addition to Suite101, she has also published at Helium where her articles about heating systems have been sold for use on other websites.
At Suite101 Deborah has concentrated her writing skills on informative articles, freely sharing knowledge which she has acquired through work, experience and research, focused in four main subject areas:
- Products for babies and children, including twins;
- Domestic heating and hot water systems;
- Kitchen & bathroom renovations;
- The local area of south east England, in which she lives.
After almost a year of writing general articles for Suite101 Deborah was appointed Feature Writer for Kid's Products in January 2010. In August 2011 she became Topic Editor for the Mathematics section.
