Welcome to the World of Gary Boardman

Gary Christopher Boardman, originally from Blackpool, relocated to Southampton in the sunny south of the UK at the age of two, where he has lived ever since.
 

Gary was a calm child with a vivid imagination and dreamt of setting the world alight one day. With most dreams, reality got in the way, and like everyone else, he had to settle in with the rat race of what is called ‘work’.

Becoming a proud father in 2007 gave him the opportunity to feel young again and experience the world again through a child's eyes and rekindle some of that motivation to do something more creative with his life.

As his son grew older, he wanted bedtime story after bedtime story, and to keep up with the boy's desire for adventures, the solution was easy: Gary would weave his own stories on the spot to keep the magic of story time going, nurturing a bond that remains strong even now his son has grown into a teenager.
 

Whilst he tried his hand at all sorts of make believe stories and magical adventures, there was one that stood out amongst the others ‘Boo & Patch’. Boo & Patch started out as a simple idea of a boy and his dog travelling through wormholes on different adventures, quickly becoming a nightly request. Gary needed to be on his toes and come up with new story after new story, and with pleasure, he did so.

With much encouragement from his family and setting some personal time aside, he set to the task of bringing these characters to life in his debut book, Boo & Patch, a Tail of Hope. As he continues Gary is excited toexpand the ‘Boo & Patch’ series and explore new stories. His journey into the literary world is just beginning, promising more enchanting adventures for readers, young and old.
