Gareth Carter was a mild-mannered librarian until a backlash against LGBT+ centered children’s books unexpectedly launched his writing career. Accused of being a “pornographer” for making diverse stories available, he turned the insult into inspiration.

With sharp humor and unapologetic defiance, Carter transforms censorship into art and controversy into storytelling.

He one day had a dream and that dream became, The Misadventures ofDon Kee Dong & Phillip Mihol: International Men of Mystery, his debut novel.
