Will Stebbings is rapidly gaining critical acclaim for his insightful novels, encapsulating nostalgia for the sixties and seventies, whilst adding a fair smattering of humour. His first novel 'Off the Mark' received so many plaudits that he felt compelled to write 'Further Off the Mark' which continues the rites of passage for its main character, Mark Barker, who left an all-boys' school with no experience of girls or the adult world in general. 'Completely Off the Mark' is about Mark's further exploits in the early 1970s, while 'Mark's Out of Eleven' takes us back to 1960 and his days at an all boys' Grammar School, when educational institutions were as much about discipline as they were education.
'Tess of the Dormobiles' is a comedy thriller and is not part of the Mark Barker quadrilogy, being set firmly in the 21st century and featuring a female lead character.
Will's love of soul music features heavily in his work, where he often used sixties and seventies soul records as the chapter titles.
All of Will's novels are set predominately in Norfolk, which is where he was born and raised.
Theresa Finbow is an author who has taken a cottage in a quiet area of Norfolk while she starts work on her next novel which is to be called Tess of the Dormobiles. Tess, the central character in this new book, is someone who craves adventure, so Theresa seeks to emulate her in order to gain inspiration for her work, but this brings her into contact with Billy, a local farmworker who has a malevolent stare and is reputed to have a violent temper. He has also been implicated in the death of his ex-girlfriend. So after a terrifying incident with Billy, Theresa invites her estranged husband to come to her rescue, but after a short visit, Danny returns home, leaving Theresa to face her demons alone, one of whom is Billy's elder brother who is capable of inflicting even greater horrors on Theresa.
