The incredible true story of David E. Gates becoming a father then, after seven years, finding out his daughter wasn’t his.
Thought-provoking, honest, extraordinary, revealing. A damning indictment of the Child Support Agency and Family Courts.
A quite extraordinary true story.
“I haven’t reacted to a book like this since reading To Kill A Mockingbird. Don’t hesitate with this one. Just get it!” – Simon Arnold.
The Ghost of Clothes is now available FREE for all Kindle users, from Amazon!
A short story. A “branch” off of The Roots of Evil.
A young man, already down on his luck, experiences a series of strange and mysterious events which escalate into a telling trauma.

AVAILABLE NOW: The AUDIOBOOK version of Access Denied.

Told in his own words, David E. Gates narrates the story of how he fell in love, had a daughter he adored, and battled against the unbelievable incompetence, bias and injustices of the Child Support Agency and the Family Courts which cost him almost everything.
With 100% positive reviews, David’s story is both moving and tragic. Experience it in glorious audio form with original music by James Holmes.
My book of travelogues, Omonolidee, apparently doesn’t fit with the Hay Festival programme section on “Travel!” I wonder which section it DOES fit then?
