Deborah Norton is the co-host of The Feral Crone Book Club and a Swiftie over 50 who embraces her bold spirit, humor, and creativity with unapologetic ferocity. As a storyteller, puppeteer, and writer, Deborah brings her unique perspective and sharp wit to every episode.

From working on her imaginative puppet productions like The Wubbles to defying societal norms with her "feral" approach to life, Deborah is all about celebrating the wild and wonderful in the second act of life. She thrives on exploring the cosmos, sparking laughter, and inspiring women to reclaim their stories.

With warmth, wisdom, and a fearless perspective, Deborah proves that life after 50 isn’t about slowing down—it’s about showing up, speaking out, and having a hell of a lot of fun along the way.
