Deb McEwan is a British author with a diverse writing career spanning multiple genres, including children's literature, young adult fiction, and adult novels. Her published works include the "Unlikely Soldiers" series, which draws from her thirty-year career in the British Army, with titles such as "Friends and Revenge" exploring military life in 1970s and 1980s Britain. She has also written standalone novels like "Court Out (A Netball Girls' Drama)," a dramatic tale centered around a netball team grappling with personal secrets. Additionally, her "Afterlife" series, inspired by a moment of contemplation about ants, delves into supernatural suspense, while "The Island Dog Squad" novellas are heartwarming stories influenced by her rescue dog, Sandy.
McEwan's writing reflects her varied interests and experiences, from military themes to lighthearted children's books such as those featuring Jason the penguin and Barry the reindeer. Her ability to shift between genres showcases her versatility, though she humorously acknowledges this may explain why she hasn't yet become a New York Times bestseller. Beyond fiction, she co-authored a non-fiction work about a boy born with unique challenges, further demonstrating her range. Currently residing in Cyprus with her husband and rescue dog, McEwan continues to write, with her latest project being a personal account of her experience with cancer. Her "Island Expats" series offers cozy mysteries set on the fictional island of Souvia, adding yet another dimension to her literary portfolio.
