D.L. Ward is a term-time teacher and a holiday author from London currently living and working in Sydney.

Upon returning to London, he met his future partner, briefly worked in a rather strange office job and then trained as a Humanities teacher at an even stranger school.

D.L. released his first novel, Eight Seasons in 2024 and a follow-on novella, Fifty Mosquitoes later that year. He is currently working on a series of books with the working title The Author for Hire.
