Gareth Simmonds was born and raised in Chesterfield, where his first dreams were to become a writer. Today Gareth lives with his Wife and Children in the seaside town of Torbay, South Devon. Alongside writing and illustrating fun, heartwarming Children’s stories, he spends his days as a Youth Worker.

Always eager to explore the creative arts Gareth is also a published Songwriter, Graphic Designer and even built and designed Campervans. He also spent some time working as a teacher before writing his first set of children’s books.

Rocket the Rabbit, Gareth’s eagerly-awaited Children’s book, was described as a ‘tribute to all dreamers’, making it a fitting introduction to the industry - but rest assured, there’s plenty more to come.
