Debbie Wastling is the author of the Bell Series, a richly detailed collection of British historical novels inspired by the true stories of her own ancestors.
Born in Yorkshire and now living in Los Angeles, Debbie blends her deep love of British history, music, and storytelling to bring the past vividly to life. Her novels explore romance, family, and resilience across some of the most transformative decades of the 20th century from the excitement of the 1920s and the era of the Flying Scotsman, through the hardships of World War II, and into the social changes of the 1950s and 1960s.
Her writing journey began in high school with her first produced play, and she went on to professionally direct over 75 musicals and theatrical productions, as well as write new music. This lifelong connection to performance and storytelling gives her novels a strong sense of atmosphere, emotion, and rhythm. In recent years, Debbie has also become a successful grant writer for arts education, supporting creative programs for future generations.
Each book in the Bell Series tells a heartfelt, historically grounded love story from flappers and jazz-age romance, to wartime endurance in bombed-out Hull, to suffragist struggles in Newcastle, and the rise of family pubs along the River Tyne. At the heart of her work is a celebration of strong women, enduring love, and families who refuse to give up in the face of change.
Debbie’s novels are perfect for readers who enjoy British historical fiction, romantic family sagas, and stories inspired by real lives. Through her writing, she invites readers not just to read history but to feel it.
