Guy Thomas Hibbert a.ka. Guy Hibbert I'm a publisher and travel journalist by profession. Now I have more time I have returned to my first love, creative writing. In Paris Postcards I used the short story format to challenge myself, in order to fire up my imagination and try out some writing techniques. After two years work my debut novel, The Château of Illusions is now published. It is a saga of two families and their ownership of a historic petit chateau in rural France. My main character is a strong, independent woman, a reluctant heroine of the French resistance movement. The novel is about her life and loves and her quest for redemption after some tragic events during the war. It is set in France and London from just before WW2 up to the 1980s. I first visited France as a 17 year old, hitchhiking down the west coast, across the Pyrénées and around the Mediterranean coast. The following year I returned with three school friends and drove 3000 kms of French country roads in a Morris Thousand Traveller. I have never forgotten the hospitality of the French people we met on our travels, the glories of the open road and the fabulous scenery. Later in life I had the opportunity to live in France and to write about its diverse culture, history and destinations via my day job as Editor-in-Chief of BonjourParis.com and France Today magazine.. I grew up in India, Pakistan, Iran, Dominican Republic, Bermuda, Italy and England. I divide my time these days between Bath,, UK and the south of France. Goodreads is such a great site - I just wish I had more time to write reviews, but even so I really value the reviews and comments others have written.
