Children's Author

Biography

Gareth has written adverts on the telly, adverts on the radio, adverts on ginormous billboards that make you want to buy a pair of trainers and run really fast. But when he’s not doing that, he LOVES writing stories for children. Very silly stories starring very silly characters that are as memorable as any jingle. He lives in Warwickshire, not far from Shakespeare’s birthplace, but the similarities end there.

Super Mega Tortoise (2026)

Super Mega Tortoise loves to crush cities and cause chaos! But perhaps he just needs a friend to teach him how to have fun in a kinder way…
Meet Super Mega Tortoise, a loveable young city-crushing king of giants, whose favourite activities include throwing boats, harassing busy humans, and terrorising the ducks at the park. When he meets Sakura, maths-whizz, and their friendship grows, she soon teaches him that there are far better ways to have fun. But when Super Mega Tortoise sets out prove to the city that he’s changed, will they accept him for who he really is?
Inspired by movie monsters like Godzilla, this is a picture book for all budding fans of comic books and anime.
