Deborah Abela knew she wanted to be a writer when she was 7 years old. Her first story was about a man made out of cheese. It wasn’t very good. She’s had much more practice writing since then and strangely enough her first writing job was for a kids’ show on channel Ten called “Cheez TV”. After 7 years of writing scripts about everything from llamas to bungy jumping and how to go to the toilet in outer space, Deb wrote her first novel - Max Remy Superspy Part 1: In Search of the Time and Space Machine.
It’s about a feisty girl called Max and her best friend Linden who travel the world as secret agents fighting bad guys. It’s an action packed series based on loads of adventures Deb had, just after she left school. She’s slept beside alligators, been harassed by monkeys (and who hasn’t) was almost traded for a camel and was thrown in jail at gunpoint, twice.
Deb still claims her innocence to this day.
Together with sport icon Johnny Warren, Deb also created the Jasper Zammit (Soccer Legend) series. It’s about a young boy called Jasper and his best friend Lil, who love their soccer and dream of being soccer legends, just like Johnny.
