Gareth started writing a few years ago. Initially, it was a means to get a story that was in his head down on paper. Be quickly found that he enjoyed the process of writing and creating a world. It also helped him cope with some of the ups and downs involved in his bipolar.
His debut book 'Creatures' set in a post-apocalyptic Britain, where a lab accident caused the creation of mutated rats that survivors must now battle against, was released in July 2018.
He is a multi-genre author so far releasing books relating to horror and sci-fi.
When he's not writing, he enjoys reading, gaming and Lego.
He lives in Manchester, UK, with his wife.
In his blog at garethellis.co.uk, he talks about his latest projects, games and mental health.
