Daniel King: ASD (Alien Specialist with Dad)
Aliens exist.
They are a fact.
Daniel King is eleven. He has autistic spectrum disorder (ASD). More facts.
So, when Daniel sees a giant alien-not-spider in a supermarket, he refuses to return to school until he's proved aliens are here. Now. On Earth. Facts.
Political figures are missing. CCTV footage is being erased. There's technology humans haven't invented. And then there's the man in the dark-blue suit who knows everything...
Join Daniel and Dad for the first time in the series, and ask the question: can a so-called weakness be someone's greatest asset?
R.A. Howitt lives in Leeds with his partner and three children, who he is happy to rank in order of favouritism, although this changes daily (he has to say that).
After writing and not publishing half a dozen novels, he didn't produce a manuscript for twenty years - such are the scars from rejection. During that time, he was a teacher, a tutor, became a headteacher, then quit it all to return to his first love: writing.
The Daniel King series is his first work since rebooting his computer - in every sense.
He is also the founder of New2theScene, a platform for the emergence of literary talent yet to have their bestseller.
