Hi. I’m Gareth Mottram and I write YA fiction - modern-day paranormal and fantasy novels with a focus on action, fabulous locations and getting deep into the protagonist’s head. I am also about to finish a non-fiction book about debating hot issues and I design strategy and dexterity board and card games. I started writing at about twelve, inspired by a fantasy series by Stephen Donaldson. In November 2007, I published my first YA supernatural action novel, JASON WILLOW. I have now released the entire trilogy of Jason Willow novels as both paperback and e-book. I’ve also designed a strategy card game which chess players will like. It’s called Battle Ace and you can play it with just a normal deck of cards or online on Tabletopia. I'm now working on DEADLOCK – a YA fantasy series set on a storm-wracked prison plateau for magic users and filled with action and complex relationships. The books will tie into a revolutionary new card game I'm designing where you'll be able to recreate the skirmishes and battles in the stories using a wide range of beautifully illustrated cards as well as set up your own conflicts. You can discover more about all of my books and games and catch up with the latest developments on Facebook – The Red Button Press.
