D. P. Clarence (Dan to his friends-including you, dear reader) was a journalist for a long, long time before finally deciding to bite the bullet and do the thing he always wanted to do-write books about boys kissing other boys. His debut novel was The Paper Boys, the first book in the Brent Boys series, starring Sunny and Ludo. The free novella, The Silly Season, follows what happens to Sunny and Ludo next. Going Solo is the second full novel in the series. Dan is an avid reader of everything from rom-coms to literary fiction-but he especially loves LGBTQ+ fiction. You can see what he's been reading lately, on Instagram and Goodreads. Originally from Australia, Dan lives in London with his husband and their very smiley corgi.
