Author: Colette Kebell

Colette Kebell brings British romantic comedy to fashion, workplace pressures, friendship, and the gap between outward confidence and private uncertainty. After working as a legal secretary, she turned more fully to writing following redundancy. Blue and Green Should Never Be Seen! was her debut novel and established the light, socially observant tone associated with her later work. Its central character, GiGi, works as a personal shopper and hopes to build a fashion business, allowing clothing rules and professional ambition to shape both comedy and conflict. Kebell followed the novel with Retail Therapist, continuing her interest in contemporary working lives and romantic complications. She has described her fiction as chick lit and romantic comedy, genres that suit her preference for quick dialogue and situations in which polished appearances are tested by practical setbacks. Blue and Green Should Never Be Seen! is therefore closely connected to her professional themes: reinvention, self-presentation, and the courage required to turn personal taste into independent work.
