G A Franks is originally from a small town in Leicestershire, but now resides in the Cotswolds with his wife and children. As a child he loved using a bright pink ‘McDonald’s‘ pen and ‘Transformers’ notepad to write stories about his beloved comic book characters, and - until recently - that was where his writing career began and ended. Much of his adult life has been spent travelling around the pubs and clubs of England playing bass and guitar in a variety of bands. (With varying degrees of success!) But after finally reaching a state of comfortable middle-age tubbyness, and completing a degree in education, he decided to leave the music to the next generation, swap the old pink pen for a MacBook and start writing again. His debut novel 'Maelstorm' book one in the Gideon Rayne series was published in September 2020 and quickly rose to the number one spot for new releases in it's category. A grittier sequel 'Derecho' was released in summer 2021, bringing Gideon's story to a close for the time being. Maelstorm was swiftly followed by GA Franks' first children’s book, ‘Jake & The Nefarious Glub’. Released in late 2020, the story follows a young boy on the autistic spectrum called Jake as he finds himself embroiled in a magical adventure tracking down some escaped book characters. Along the way Jake makes a very unusual new friend and there is much disgustingness! His latest book 'The Time Driver' is also set in the fictional town of 'Bisby by the Sea' and broaches a subject we can all relate to: How time flies when you're having fun, and slows to a crawl when things are boring! The Time Driver is a strange book, in that it can act as a sequel to 'Jake & the Nefarious Glub' if the reader wishes - or it can stand alone - OR, if you squint a bit, it could even be a prequel to the Gideon Rayne books! It certainly transcends any attempts to be age bracketed!
