Mark Brophy lives alongside the Royal Military Canal near Hythe in Kent. His first book, “The Prince’s Parade” is set in the area where he now lives, a unique wild area on the coast. The book tells the story of Hana, a young girl who moves to the area from London. She falls in love with her new environment and finds excitement but also solace in nature. When she hears that a housing development is planned nearby, Hana enlists the help of some rather unusual friends to stop it.
Mark chose to write this story to explore human relationships and how access to nature is vital for human health. Hana embodies the hope to be found in young people who often have a keen sense of place as part of the environment.
All profit from the book will go to the Save Prince’s Parade campaign, an organisation which has fought for many years to protect this space in Kent.
Mark has visited local schools, speaking to children about nature and engaging with them. He has various ideas for his next book but for now is enjoying talking to people about The Prince’s Parade. If you are interested in finding out more, please visit www.theprincesparade.co.uk

After being a Legal Secretary for about 10 years, I was on the hunt to find something else that I would find just as interesting. I found that in writing and I hope you like what you read. I love fashion with a passion (pardon the pun) and therefore it is not surprising that my debut novel was going to follow that theme. This is my first novel, but it was intended to be the first of a series, and hopefully shall be, as at this point I would dearly love to be working on the revising my next book. This book is a work of fiction, although there are elements of this book that are based on myself and/or my husband. Those elements started from a small seed and grew to be developed into full characters within this book, at the time that it was written. Both my copy editor and I then edited it, during the Christmas period. Please keep your eyes peeled for GiGi’s next instalment. I have many other interests, though I love writing. You could also look at my website and see what news is on there at www.ColetteKebell.com or follow me on either twitter @ColetteKebell or Facebook https://www.facebook.com/pages/Colette-Kebell/882613368417057. I also have to say a massive thank you to those of you who have read and reviewed my book as reviews are the all important factor, though not the only factor, that helps other readers to decide whether or not to read my book. Oh, and I’m on Goodreads as well, for those of you who are interested, so please take a look.
