A devastating diagnosis. A living nightmare. An abundance of love.
Deb's life in Cyprus was going along just swimmingly - a wonderful husband, family, and friends, an adorable dog, excellent work/life balance, and the time to follow her passion for writing.
Then she found a lump in her breast.
The nightmare started and everything changed. In the blink of an eye, her life was on the line and her idyllic future was under threat.
Everyone is unique and this is Deb's personal story about how she dealt with the brutal treatments, her loss of independence, her femininity, and the changes to her mind, body, and soul.
Through it all, she tried to be positive and to maintain her sense of humour as she relied on the love and support of her husband, family, and friends-and the care provided by a superb medical team.
This isn't a self-help book, or advice about how anyone else should deal with a devastating diagnosis. It's simply an account of Deb's life before being diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer, the treatments she received, how that affected Deb and her husband, and how they coped.
Please note that this story contains lots of triggers and a fair dose of cursing and swearing. While some might find it inspiring, others who are starting their cancer journey may find it a bit scary.
McEwan, Deb: - "
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 adult books about aliens, the afterlife, soldiers, and netball players.
The first book in the latest series 'Unlikely Soldiers' 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.
'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?
'Beyond Possession', book four in the Afterlife series was published in February 2018. It's a fast-paced supernatural thriller involving child possessions, reincarnations and telepathic twins, with angels trying to keep the Devil and his evils at bay.
'The Island Dog Squad' is a series of novellas inspired by the rescue dog Deb and Allan adopted this March. 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 spends her time writing, avoiding housework and playing tour guide. She also tries - and mostly fails - to keep off the pounds.
