I wrote my first novel a few years ago, which has yet to see the light of day (nor ever will), and found that writing is in my blood, my passion, so I’ve stuck to it.

Of Fire and Blood is a nostalgic and warm read, plucking on the lute strings of themes I enjoy around a warm fire of favourite tropes, gathered for the tale. It’s certainly not a fantasy trying to be an edgelord, it’s a book offering warmth and safet ...more

Quotes by D.A. Smith (?)

“[T]here isn't anything worth losing your mind for. And if things become too complicated or too stressful—let it go. I don’t care if it’s a job, a woman, man, child or beast—if it’s too much for you and it’s causing you too much pressure to the point where you are thinking about committing suicide? Let it go.”
― D. A. Smith
