Stine’s original ‘Goosebumps’ series, Roald Dahl books, and – most importantly – J.K. Rowling’s ‘Harry Potter’ series. Gavin tried his hand at writing fantasy stories while he was young and in 2006, he won a nationwide competition to be included in an anthology book along with other secondary school students. The book was titled ‘Telling T.A.L.E.S. Adventure Into Fiction, Vol. 1’, and was published 30th November 2006.
Gavin self-published his debut novel, ‘Remnants of the Damned’, on the 9th of October 2013 on the Kindle store where it immediately became a success. The book has been nominated for five awards where it has so far won two – Silver for Horror Fiction at the Global eBook Awards, Silver for Young Adult Horror at the Readers’ Favourite Book Awards. The book has also been nominated for the Wattpad Young Writers’ Prize.
Gavin currently writes reviews and articles for popular website SpoilerTV while studying English Literature with Creative Writing at Newcastle University. Gavin can also be found working part-time at Greggs to keep busy between studying and writing. When Gavin has free time (which is rare), he loves to read on his Kindle, watch countless television shows including The Walking Dead and Once Upon a Time, re-watch his favourite Disney and Pixar films including Frozen, The Little Mermaid and Finding Nemo, obsessing over Studio Ghibli films like Howl’s Moving Castle and Ponyo, playing video games and spending time with his family.ver menos
