Writing and Composition Work
In 2003 Deborah collaborated with DJ Producer Tony Moran and wrote "Real Love" released on Centaur Records. Cooper won an ASCAP Award for composition on this project. In early 2007 Cooper began working on her memoirs: her history in music from an R & B diva, disco, and dance belter and road stories. An international tour is being planned for summer 2007 in support of her book as well as new tracks she is composing.

Famous quotes containing the words writing, composition and/or work:
“Whenever I’m asked why Southern writers particularly have a penchant for writing about freaks, I say it is because we are still able to recognize one. To be able to recognize a freak, you have to have some conception of the whole man, and in the South the general conception of man is still, in the main, theological.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
“There is singularly nothing that makes a difference a difference in beginning and in the middle and in ending except that each generation has something different at which they are all looking. By this I mean so simply that anybody knows it that composition is the difference which makes each and all of them then different from other generations and this is what makes everything different otherwise they are all alike and everybody knows it because everybody says it.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“Not rarely, and this is especially true of wives and mothers, the motive behind assuming a disproportionate share of work and responsibility is completely unselfish. We want to protect, to spare those of whom we are fond. We forget that, regardless of the motive, the results of such action are almost always destructive and unproductive.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
