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.

"As always, a laugh-out-loud 4.75 star read.

D.P. Clarence's books are always reliably heartfelt, funny, and original. I read the other two before I had a Goodreads account, so I haven't gone back and reviewed them (I should), but I'd say much the sam" Read more of this review »

“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

“we can’t change the past, so have to learn to sit with the discomfort the past has left us. If we let it weigh us down, it’ll only make us unhappy in the moment we’re in. And every moment is a new moment. So, while you should acknowledge the discomfort, you have to live in the moment. That’s the only thing that’s real. The past, the future, they’re not real. All we have is this moment.”
D.P. Clarence, Going Solo
