Anna Quicke:
Highway
Based on the
story of real-life
h i g h w a y m a n ,
John Nevison,
and written by
one of his descendants, Anna,
‘Highway’ is a story of love, loss
and life in London in the 1600’s.
Spanning the period of history that
saw the fall of Cromwell, the Great
Fire of London, and the Black Death,
this is a novel that encompasses
the wider history of the age, whilst
focusing intimately on the lives of
those living in it.

This is Anna’s third book, she has
had great success and has been
in the top 2% of all books sold on
Amazon in the UK with sales of her
second novel, ‘The Painted Fire’,
which is set locally.

Stephen Draycott:
Rehab to Rehab
Rehab to rehab is a ten-year journey
of acceptance and self-discovery. On
1st August 2003, Stephen suffered an
Acquired Brain Injury (ABI), which left
him with a number of psychological
issues to both tackle and adjust
to. Stephen would like to give thanks to Headway,
a leading brain injury charity who gave him support,
without whom and many others, this story would have
been impossible to tell..

‘If I had one wish, it would be that families living this
nightmare would find some sort of comfort from within
these words, to help them start this long journey with
strength and positivity.’ - Stephen Draycott.
