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.
Mark Barker is in the doldrums. His steady girlfriend has gone away and his beloved car, a Wolseley 1500, has failed its MOT and is rusting away before his eyes. Ti make matters worse, his job is now in jeopardy. He determines to turn his life around.
His interest in the lovely Polly seems to be reciprocated but he dithers and fate is once more unkind to him.
However, with a reliable new motor and a promising new job, it must surely be just a matter of time before he finds his soul mate.
A treat for those that love those early days of the '70s. A mixture of hotpants, flares, disco music, and power cuts. Impossible to resist really.
