Meet Deb

After more than 30 years in the British Army, Allan and I made our home in Cyprus, where the sunshine is plentiful and inspiration is never far away. I write across several genres, drawing on imagination, experience and a fondness for characters who refuse to behave as expected. Our rescue dog Sandy keeps life interesting, too!
