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 latest book, 'The Lump', is 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.

The Lump: My Cancer Story is a detailed personal account of Deb McEwan's most challenging time. Deb was enjoying life in Cyprus and was content until she discovered a lump in her breast. When Deb turned sixty, she wondered what it would bring. It never crossed her mind that she would soon find a lump that would irrevocably change her life, affect her physical and mental health, and inflict horrific pain, frustration, and distress on her. She was fortunate enough not to inherit the Huntington's gene her family had. Yet she was not ready to learn if the cancer was genetic or not. In this book, Deb recounts how she went through the worst parts of her cancer journey and how her body reacted to all the chemotherapy sessions, infections, complications, treatments, operations, and more.
The Lump is Deb McEwan's incredible journey and story of survival and coping. It gives raw insight into what it's like to experience a life-altering moment, stay positive, and learn valuable lessons. It's about the importance of love and support during a difficult journey. Deb blends her unique voice, personal experiences before cancer, thoughts, reflections, struggles, and a bit of humor to offer readers a front-row view of the daily challenges familiar to many cancer survivors and their close ones. This story reminds us that cancer can turn anyone's well-being upside down at any time and how scary and devastating it can be. This tough yet amazing and honest account helps anyone who knows someone facing this devastating diagnosis to show even more empathy and patience toward them.
