About
Gary is a novelist living in the northeast of England. His work, largely literary fiction, focuses on themes that touch us all — love, death, loss and aspiration — but always with an eye to finding an unusual angle or viewpoint. Quirky and highly readable, his writing aims to entertain first and foremost. If he can also offer a previously unfamiliar perspective or insight, all the better. His first novel, If I Never, is published by Legend Press and is now available from all major bookstores.

Story Behind The Book
If I Never was written at a time in my life when I was very determined to write the novel that I wanted to write, rather than the novels I've been told I should be writing. I very consciously broke many so-called writing rules and, to a degree, stuck two fingers up at those who said I couldn't write this kind of novel and get it published. I wrote it and the first publisher I sent it to accepted it.
A lesson there for all aspiring writers!
