I'm Sandy the rescue dog, and this is my story. In the depths of despair, she has no idea who, or where she is. Dying of thirst with her ribcage almost poking through her skin, she can barely put one paw in front of the other when she’s rescued from the street. When Sandy’s people parents take her to her beautiful new home on the island, she tries to focus on her future, and return the love and kindness showered upon her. Then she meets Lola, Obie and Chip, and the traumatic flashbacks begin. As her past slowly unravels, and her memory returns, Sandy must make a choice that will determine her life and her future. What will she decide? ‘The Island Dog Squad’, an animal cozy mystery novella, told by Sandy the rescue dog. “Anyone who’s had the privilege of sharing their lives with an animal companion will love Sandy’s story ... most highly recommended.” Jack Magnus for Readers’ Favorite – 5 stars “I have nothing but the highest of praises to sing for this thought-provoking, tear-jerking tale of torture, death, hope and survival.” Rosie Malezer for Readers’ Favorite – 5 stars The Island Dog Squad comprises three novellas: Book 1 - Sandy's Story Book 2 - Another Crazy Mission Book 3 - People Problems

Brief content visible, double tap to read full content.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

During her downtime Deb likes escaping from reality (and housework) to the bondu. This is where her characters and their stories are born.

She enjoys writing in different genres and this could be the reason why she’s not a New York Times best seller yet (though there could be lots of other reasons too.) Deb’s series include the supernatural suspense Afterlife books, the first of which was inspired by ants, Unlikely Soldiers (based on some of her experiences in the British Army) and The Island Dog Squad series of novellas. She’s also written children’s books about Jason the penguin and Barry the reindeer, a novel about netball players, as well as a non-fiction book about a boy born to be different (co-written with Zak’s Mum, Joanne). There are also two novels in the Aliens Guide series. Her latest books, The Island Expats, are cosy mysteries set on the fictional island of Souvia.

Her current work in progress is a fun read (not) about how she coped with cancer.

Deb’s husband, Allan, is also a weather refugee and they live in Cyprus with their rescue dog, Sandy.

I’m a dog person...

And cat person, apparently as I have about 8 of them (unintentionally). But if you want to read a really good story, this is your book. It’s told from the dog’s point of view and that’s interesting all unto itself, but the story it tells is really original. Advance warning, you’re gonna fall in love with Fish/Sandy. ;)

Island Dog squad #1

Reviewed in the United States on 8 January 2019

This is a fun book. I needed something easy, short and with a dog in it. I have. Read all of Spencer Quinn’s Bernie Short Mysteries which has the dog telling the whole story! I truly enjoy them and they are full stories. Deb’s book is similar but very short, like a novella. Love the glimpse of military training of dogs and their multiple uses! Sandy is a sweet dog. I have already bought the next two stories, so I will read them!!!

An exciting tale of Sandy the rescue dog.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 June 2018

Verified Purchase

This is a story for dog lovers and young readers 10+. At times it is comical but then heartwrenching. Sandy is a rescue dog, the poor thing found almost drown as a puppy but luckily discovered at just the right time and taken in by military personnel.

Sandy as a young dog endures some horrendous experiences, and ends up losing her memory. Hence the story is not for the faint hearted. Happily she is taken in by a wonderful couple Ellie and Ben. Slowly her memory returns but along with it come terrible nightmares of a past life.

The story will keep you on the edge of your seat, and make you marvel at how clever Sandy is.
