edit data

David Green is a neurodivergent internationally best-selling writer of the epic and the urban, the fantastical and the mysterious.

With his character-driven dark fantasy series Empire Of Ruin, or urban fantasy noir Hell In Haven starring Haven's only supernatural PI Nick Holleran, David takes readers on emotional, character-driven, action-packed thrill rides that leaves a reader needing their next fix.

Hailing from the north-west of England, David now lives in County Galway on the west coast of Ireland. When not writing, David can be found wondering why he chooses to live in, and write about, places where it constantly rains.

David represented by Laura Bennett at LLA.

Quotes by David Green (?)

“Hello there. Looking to send a letter?” Greton paused, and glanced at Atlas, then back at the shopkeeper. “How did you know?” She narrowed her eyes. “You’re in my Mailing Shop. What else would you be doing here?” “Then why did you ask?” The woman blinked. “Habit, I suppose.”
