    • I joined the British Army in 1979 and left at the end of 2013. Females weren’t routinely weapon trained during basic training until 1986 – and few went on operations. I wanted to join as a Radar Operator but was told I would spend most of my career in Scotland. I’ve always hated the cold and didn’t fancy going to Scotland so joined as a Clerk. My first posting on completion of my training was to the Army headquarters in Scotland!

      Parts of the story are exaggerated versions of some of the things that happened to me, and lots of the scenes involving Guy, the male protagonist, are based on the service of a good friend who was in the Royal Military Police. I chose to write it this way as I didn’t want the book to be about my husband and I.

      Will you be able to work out what’s fact and what’s fiction?

BIOGRAPHY
Following a career of over thirty years in the British Army, Deb and her husband moved to Cyprus to become weather refugees.

She’s written children's books about Jason the penguin and Barry the reindeer and young adult/adult books about dogs, soldiers, and netball players, as well as a non-fiction book about a boy born to be different. Her most popular books are the supernatural suspense Afterlife series.

The Afterlife series was inspired by ants. Deb was in the garden contemplating whether to squash an irritating ant or to let it live and wondered whether anyone up there decides the same about us, and thus the series was born. Book 5, ‘Beyond Limits’, is the latest in the series where an evil spirt decides to inflict terror on a newborn orphan. The action takes the reader from Amsterdam, to London, the Scottish Highlands and Heaven and Hell. (‘Beyond Sunnyfields’ is in the planning stage).

‘Zak, My Boy Wonder' is written from a mother's point of view. It's the inspirational true story of her son's abandonment by the military authorities, the fight for his survival against all odds, and acceptance in a society obsessed by perfection.

The first book in the Unlikely Soldiers series is set in nineteen-seventies Britain. The second covers the early eighties and includes the Falklands War, service in Northern Ireland and (the former) West Germany. 'Friends and Revenge' is the third in the series and takes a sinister turn of events. ‘Murder and Mayhem’ is the final book of the series and takes our heroine from the former West Germany, to London and to an action-packed Hong Kong.

'Court Out (A Netball Girls' Drama)' is Deb's latest standalone novel. Using netball as an escape from her miserable home life, Marsha Lawson is desperate to keep the past buried and to forge a brighter future. But she’s not the only one with secrets. When two players want revenge, a tsunami of emotions is released at a tournament, leaving destruction in its wake. As the wave starts spreading throughout the team, can Marsha and the others escape its deadly grasp, or will their emotional baggage pull them under, with devastating consequences for their families and team-mates?

‘The Island Dog Squad’ is a series of novellas inspired by the rescue dog Deb and Allan adopted in 2018. The real Sandy is a sensitive soul, not quite like her fictional namesake, and the other characters are based on Sandy’s real-life mates.

Deb loves spending time with her husband Allan and rescue dog Sandy. She also loves writing, keeping fit, and socialising, and does her best to avoid housework.

I love the work of this author and this Unlikely Soldier Series is one of my favourites, with a strong female as the lead character. Mouse.
