Gareth Alun Thomas was born in Dinas Powys, just outside Cardiff but now lives in Blackwood in the Welsh valleys. He has worked for over 34 years for the NHS as a Biomedical Scientist and has recently retired and returned to work part time. Working less hours, Gareth finally had time to write his first novel, something that he always wanted to do. When his parents passed away Gareth and his brothers had to clear the house. He came across an old diary he had written when he went travelling with five friends across Europe on an interrail ticket. Using this diary as a template, Gareth finally wrote and completed his first novel, “No chance.”
Gareth has been happily married to Amanda for over thirty years and they have three children together, two girls and a boy. In his spare time Gareth enjoys walking the dog, travelling and playing the guitar as well as cooking for the family.
