Hi, and thanks for visiting my Amazon page!

My name is Gary (pen name G.D. Wright) and I live on the south east coast of England with my wife and two young children.

I joined Kent Police at the age of 18, working on the front line in a variety of uniformed roles until the age of 29 when, completely out of the blue, I suffered two cardiac 'events', and was subsequently diagnosed with a hereditary and incurable disease of the heart (arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy if you're being fussy!). As a result, I had an internal defibrillator implanted in me, and I had to retire from the police aged 30.

One door closed, but another opened, and my wife and I bought a coffee shop in Ramsgate Harbour. We spent eight of the happiest years of our lives there but, when the kiddies came along, it just wasn't sustainable. Family comes first, every single time (a theme in my books...), and the simple fact was that we knew our summers should be spent with the kids, not working seven days a week. In 2022, we sold our 'third baby' (the coffee shop, not an actual baby - although... what a plot line for the future... making a mental note...), and I took to writing full time.

Fast forward to now. I've signed a two book deal with Avon UK (part of the Harper Collins family), and my debut was released in August 2024. It's called AFTER THE STORM, and it's a police procedural with a twisty, emotional hook. My second novel, INTO THE FIRE, was released in June 2025. AGAINST THE TIDE is coming in June 2026, with the fourth in 2027.
