A dad, a writer, a storyteller

I'm Keith Leonard Gumbrell, born in England in 1986, and a writer from a very young age.

It was becoming a dad that truly brought the stories to life. Those late-night feeds with my children became the birthplace of Felix the Fox. Holding a baby, a bottle, and a book at the same time isn't easy — so I started making the stories up on the spot, and those became some of my fondest memories.

I'm also a qualified Integrative Counsellor, registered with the BACP and NCPS, with extensive experience supporting clients across Cheshire.

My therapy practice is opening very soon. :)

I also have some more releases coming soon. Currently working on a time travel saga and one about someone living in London who just happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Keith Gumbrell

Writing became my therapy — a way to quiet my anxieties and make sense of the world. Through storytelling, I found my outlet, a place where my imagination could run wild and free.”

Between Floors: Nowhere to hide from what they’ll discover

Trapped between floors. Trapped with each other.
And nowhere to hide from what they’ll discover.

Ethan is a quiet, steady carer who prefers life to move at its own gentle pace. Marcus is a quick-witted graphic designer with a restless energy and a past he’d rather not discuss. Two strangers, worlds apart — until a broken lift strands them in a narrow metal box with nothing but their own thoughts… and each other.

What starts as an awkward, frustrating delay begins to shift into something unexpected. Words slip past guarded walls. Laughter breaks through the silence. And in the half-light of the emergency panel, secrets are shared that could change them both forever.

In just a few hours between floors, Ethan and Marcus will confront the truths they’ve been avoiding — about themselves, about each other, and about the possibilities that open when you’re forced to stop running.

Between Floors is an intimate, dialogue-driven novella about chance encounters, human connection, and the fragile moments that shape our lives. Perfect for fans of contemporary fiction who love forced-proximity stories, emotional depth, and characters who linger in your mind long after the last page.

If you believe one meeting can change everything… step inside.
