A storyteller

I’m Danny, and I’m a storyteller. I’ve been exploring art as a way to tell stories since I could hold a crayon. Such hits of mine lost to the wilderness of time include a picture book retelling of Robin Hood, a shot-for-shot comic book adaptation of Star Wars, and a Final Fantasy VIII fan fiction. Sure, maybe not the most original start, but now I’m building grand stories and adventures.

If drawing was my first love, writing is my true love, I’ll always have a soft spot for a sketch, but the architecture of books is where I belong. 

I studied Creative Writing at Deakin and have worked as a copywriter, technical writer, and screenwriter in my formative years. All of this was in service to my more pure love, THE NOVEL!

I’ve completed three manuscripts to date:
  • Mal Winter and the Cloud Runners
  • Mal Winter and the Last Titan
  • Ashes of Neon

And, I’m currently focussed on two others:
  • The Fable Bros Circus
  • The Frontier of the Ravenwriaths

When one of my books gets picked up by a publisher, I'd focus on more books in that series. Otherwise, I'd start on:
  • Unmaking of the Seventh Throne
  • Apocalypse Messiah

Oh, yeah, the non-writer bits … I live in Sydney with my wife, our son and two cats. So, yes, I’m at the bottom of the food chain here.
