About the Author

David E. Gates has published a number of books and previously made a film about the battlefield memorials in Ypres. We asked him what inspires him.

"I've always admired writers like James Herbert and Clive Barker. I met and interviewed them and they inspired me to write. I've written articles and short stories for magazines/fanzines and a variety of items that were never published.

The self-publishing phenomenon occurred which enabled me to publish my first novel, Access Denied, at the end of 2013. It's a true story. A deeply personal and heart-wrenching account of my becoming a father and then finding out several years later that my daughter wasn't mine.

Since then, I've published my first horror novel, The Roots of Evil - a graphic, violent, intense and gore-laden horror story. Quite different from my first novel.

Most recently, in July 2015, I published a selection of travelogues called Omonolidee (I'm on Holiday). It's a unique, funny and (very) candid collection of my experiences when I travelled to Florida, Egypt, Tenerife and other places.

Back in October 2014, my poem, Remembrance, inspired by the thoughts I had during the 100th year anniversary of the start of World War I, was read aloud in front of an audience at the Museum of the Royal Navy. The video of this was subsequently displayed on the big screen in the Guildhall Square. I was invited to read it again in front of a specially-invited audience later in the year. The film I made in 2011, Ypres - The Battlefields Tours, was selected for screening at a film festival in Portsmouth.

I'm currently working on a full-length novel called The Climbing Frame, publishing a movie script, developing a sequel to The Roots of Evil and putting together a collection of short stories and poems which I hope to release before the end of the year."

Editorial Reviews

Extremely funny, very candid, set of travelogues. Had me laughing out loud. Very honest reviews of places visited. A rare and pleasing insight from someone genuinely on holiday, as opposed to someone being paid to review places they're forced to go to.

Was so interesting, and very funny, it made me purchase the full colour paperback from the author's blog site. Highly recommended.

Really enjoying Omonolidee!! Have had a few giggles throughout the day with your hilarious antics, made even funnier with the pics (although I'm sure a couple should be censored, my poor eyes are still trying to recover!!). I love your honesty regarding the resorts, restaurants etc you visited. I know which ones to avoid now lol. A thoroughly entertaining read and yet another page turner.
