Born in 1987, I have been creatively writing for as long as I can remember. The journey as a self-publishing author is a difficult one, and seems one that many people fail on. And yet, it is one that I embark on with great eagerness and gusto.
I trained initially as an English teacher, having graduated from N.U.I Maynooth with a B.A. (English & Philosophy), M.A. in English (Post Colonial Studies), B.Phil and a Postgraduate Diploma in Education. After spending a few years teaching English, often heavily focusing on the creative writing aspects of the language, I decided to follow my dreams and establish my own small business, selling a variety of goods on Amazon.
However, writing is very much my passion, and it was this passion that drove me towards releasing my novels on Amazon as a self-publishing author. I tend to enjoy writing science fiction and fantastical stories, however have also dabbled in writing suspenseful mysteries. As a writer, my goal is to entertain the reader, through engaging characters and interesting plots.
I am currently not represented by an Agent or a Publishing House, but am keen to find someone who believes in my works as much as I do.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading the works of authors such as Brandon Sanderson, Stephen King and Jim Butcher, all of whom are heavy influences on my works. I also enjoy gaming, pro-wrestling and am an avid Manchester United fan. I have also spent the last 12 months learning about fitness and have in the process dropped 55lbs, something I am very proud of.
The website, much like the covers of my books, are all created by myself in my spare time.
I genuinely would love to hear from each and every person who reads my books, and would heavily encourage you to get in touch either via Twitter (@DDunneAuthor) or via E-Mail (DavidDunneAuthor@Gmail.com). As a new author, feedback is the lifeblood of this profession, and without it, I cannot grow, so please do drop me a line if you want to talk about anything.
