Deadly intrigue with a ton of teenage humour thrown in: Webs is the first book in the Lily S: Teenage Detective series.
Sixteen-year-old Lily’s policeman Dad is trying to untangle a particularly nasty death and Lily’s intrigued. She’s even more intrigued when she proves to him it’s actually murder. Perhaps she’d make a detective too? If only she could work out what would get Dad to dump awful Ange, grovel, and patch things up with Mum. Irritating isn’t the word!
In retaliation, for awful Ange, Lily’s mum resorts to the web for romance; the world-wide-web. Convinced she can get her parents back together, Lily resorts to her own bit of web-weaving to trip up the candidates for replacement daddy. Whilst her school friends are up to their usual tricks; Matt is alternately ignoring and chasing her. Melezz is being the worst best friend, and Jacob is up to no good with his nipple tassel pranks again, Lily’s busy sleuthing. The trouble is, whilst Lily thinks she’s a clever little spider, weaving clever little traps, one of her prey is smarter still; and deadly.

About the Author
Debrah Martin is a British author writing under three different pen names and in three very different genres. She plots fast-paced and compelling thrillers as D.B. Martin, with the first in the Patchwork trilogy, Patchwork Man, having been recently awarded a coveted B.R.A.G. Medallion. As Debrah Martin she writes literary fiction, where often the truth IS stranger than fiction, and two new titles are due to be released in 2015. Chained Melodies is the emotionally challenging story of a transgender and the man who ultimately finds through her that love defies the accepted norms society imposes on it and Falling Awake has been described pre-release as “In the best traditions of Audrey Niffenegger and Carlos Ruiz Zafón…”. Also not to be overlooked is her YA teen detective series, penned as Lily Stuart – THE teen detective; irreverent, blunt, funny and vulnerable. Webs and Magpies are the first two books in the series. Gone is to be released in 2016.
So why not stick to just one name and one genre?
‘Variety is the spice of life,’ she says. ‘And I continually have all these new ideas – they have to come out somehow or my imagination might overload!’
Debrah’s past careers have spanned two businesses, teaching, running business networking for the University of Winchester (UK) and social event management. She chaired the Wantage (not just Betjeman) Literary Festival in 2014 and now also mentors and teaches new writers.
