About the author

William Hunter Howell (1988 - Present) was born on the east coast of the United Kingdom to political parents and a background of adventure, before the lure of the yellow brick road saw him move to London in his early twenties.

His debut book 'Affable in Adversity" shot to Number 1 Best Seller on Amazon, and enlightens its audience to the subject of what it was to be bereaved in his late teenage years. With a flair for the English language and the expanse of its offering, William Hunter Howell has a pedigree in luring his reader into a world of gritty and clever honesty, drawing out a vast spectrum of emotions with his unique perspective of all things intriguing.

Whilst William Hunter Howell has a plethora of work set for release, his 'Mad Ones' series is a style that pays homage to the rebel writers of the beat generation.

Un bijou!!! 💎 Reçu en cadeau d’une amie, ce journal est une vraie auto-thérapie. Je le remplis à mon rythme et il me donne l’espace pour accueillir mes émotions. Pour me souvenir. Pour m’accorder un temps d’arrêt. Pour traverser ma peine. C’est vraiment une belle pensée à (s’)offrir - pour toute personne qui souhaite entamer un travail de deuil ou poursuivre son cheminement.

Very validating grief book! Love how it acknowledged that grief doesn’t just go away & challenged the unhelpful narratives our society pushes. The prompts were great and what a nice space to reflect on loss and love.

This is an excellent resource for life. It’s real, it’s kind and the prompts are just down to earth. Would recommend this for not just grieving a loved one but for many hard situations as it has a lot of transferable messaging and insights.
