David J. Gatward

David J. Gatward is an English author of crime fiction novels. He writes the DCI Harry Grimm series. David was born in the Cotswolds and grew up in Wensleydale and Lincolnshire, where he developed a love of reading and writing. His first book was published when he was eighteen, and he went on to work in publishing, become a dad, and write children’s and teen fiction. He also ran a small publishing firm before the pandemic hit, and he returned to writing, taking up crime fiction on the advice of writing friends. Gatward’s experiences and love of the Yorkshire Dales inspired his DCI Harry Grimm crime series.
