edit data

I was a journalist for a long, long time before finally deciding to bite the bullet and do the thing I always wanted to do — write books about boys kissing other boys.

My debut novel, gay rom-com The Paper Boys, was released in February 2024.

I am an avid reader of everything from rom-coms to literary fiction — but I especially love LGBTQ+ fiction. You can see what I've been reading lately on Instagram and Goodreads.

Originally from Australia, I now live in London with my husband and our very smiley corgi.

D.P. Clarence and 53 other people liked Ali L's review of Going Solo: "Two teenage boys get chewed up by the Fame Machine and experience the requisite trauma that follows them around like a terrible, loyal dog.

D.P. Clarence and 2 other people liked George's review of The Paper Boys: "5- Stars D.P. Clarence's The Paper Boys is pure, unadulterated fun. Sunny Miller and Ludo Boche, their friends and family, and all the Members of Parliament who appear in this story are wonderfully developed.

D.P. Clarence answered Richard L. Lyon's question: I am well into The Paper Boys and am enjoying it very much. I am trying to buy The Silly Season. Goodreads says but it on Amazon but I can't find it there. Do you have any idea of how to get it? Hi Richard, the book is available for free from my website, www.dpclarence.com. (Sorry for the delayed reply. I hope you see this soon!)

Quotes by D.P. Clarence (?)

“I looked at his hand, considering whether to shake it or wave my hand over it to see if I could find the strings. When I shook it, his hand was soft but the grip was firm. His skin was olive against my pale hand. I lifted my gaze to meet his and lost myself in his eyes for a moment. They were a vivid blue. Deep like ink, but sparkly like sapphires.”
― D.P. Clarence, The Paper Boys
