Hello!
Welcome to my website, 'darrenbane'. I'm a wordsmith by profession (having had a career of some 35 years in journalism and PR) and for fun, having self-published titles in a variety of genres. On this website, you can find out all about my books, (and where to buy them, hint, hint!), a bit about me and how to contact me.
Book 11 has begun - my magnum 'opeless
2024 saw the 10th anniversary of my self-publishing adventures. I had hoped to mark this milestone by finishing and publishing my 11th title, but sadly, real life intervened and prevented me from making much progress.
However, as 2025 begins, I have (finally!!!!) started looking at my next novel, which will once again be a full-length comical (I use the term advisedly) crime caper, and it's something that I consider to be my magnum 'opeless. Watch this space for updates as and when (or should that be if and when) I make any significant progress....
When I say I have made a start, I have created the front cover, written the back-cover blurb and have - subject to a tiny bit of tweaking or two - completed the first chapter. I've not quite sorted the finer points of the plot yet, but I do know that I'm going to have a LOT of fun with this one....
