About me:
I'm Darrel... sci-fi nerd and author of:
Black Milk
Delphine Descends
I've loved both reading and science fiction for as long as I can remember – so much so it was inevitable I began writing the stuff. My influences include Philip K Dick, Dan Simmons, Ursula Le Guin and Iain M Banks (and so many more); storytelling and world-building at its best. But other, more unconventional sources inspire my writing, too – such as anime, music and cult TV shows like the BBC classic Blake’s 7 and the iconic Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I enjoy exploring mind-blowing concepts and creating complex characters... and then putting them through sh**. I don't believe in characters getting an easy time : ).
