Darren Stapleton is an author, published poet and marathon runner. He is from Nottingham, where he lives with his partner and daughter. He enjoys travelling, being stubborn and treading on his daughter's Lego ... and sarcasm.
In his first novel, Blood On Borrowed Wings, he has used his personal experiences of grief and loss to give his characters depth and a life of their own.

'My book has fast-paced chapters, crackling dialogue, dark humour and action to keep you guessing until the final twist. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it (but over a slightly shorter period of time.)'

Thanks for getting in touch. I'm currently writing Book 2. There are a mix of favourite characters from the last book and new ones. Wind sharks will definitely be gnawing their ways across the skies again.
Rob, if you don't mind me saying so, you have a great surname. Would you mind if I used it in Book 2?

As a new author I rely on reviews and word of mouth for sales. I would really appreciate any help you could give on that front.

Thanks again for getting in touch. I'll keep tapping away. All the best. Darren(less)
