About the author
Dean Mayes
8 books145 followersWhen he emerged in 2010, Adelaide based Intensive Care Nurse and author Dean Mayes, had almost given up on the prospect of ever being published. by then in his 30's with several abortive writing attempts under his belt, Dean believed he had missed his opportunity. But Dean had an idea for one last story he wanted to tell and, rather than allow it to wither and die in his imagination, he decided to blog it instead.
Quite unexpectedly, Dean's blog took off and after a chance encounter with Canadian based publisher Central Avenue in mid 2009, Dean's dream like tale about a young man who discovers he has taken on the memories and dreams of a complete stranger, became his first novel. Dean was signed to an initial two year contract and in 2010 "The Hambledown Dream" was published. The novel has since gone on to receive global attention and critical acclaim.
Dean set about penning a follow up novel that was not merely a repeat performance and in 2012 "Gifts of the Peramangk" a powerful Australian family saga. Chronicling a dysfunctional Aboriginal family in the struggle streets of Adelaide's suburban fringe, "Gifts of the Peramangk" has been described as significant literary achievement. In October 2013, it was nominated as a finalist in the prestigious EPIC Awards for contemporary fiction.
Dean's third feature length novel, a psychological thriller set in Melbourne called "The Recipient", showcased his ability to cross genres and deliver a taut and gripping tome about a heart transplant patient who discovers her organ donor was a murder victim - and that the murder remains unsolved.
Returning to his romantic roots, Dean released his fourth novel, "The Artisan Heart" in 2018. Set in Dean's home town, the novel is described as his most personal story and continues to illustrate Dean's abilities to craft realistic characters and situations.
During the Covid pandemic, Dean took a hiatus from writing to focus on his role as an Intensive Care Nurse. During this time, he managed to bring together a collection of short fiction, poetry and reflections together and will release "The Night Fisher Elegies" in 2022.
He also has plans to write a sequel to "The Recipient".
He lives in Adelaide, Australia with his wife Emily, their two children Xavier and Lucy. An Intensive Care Nurse with over 15 years of clinical experience in adult, paediatric and neonatal medicine, he can often be found lying on a hospital gurney at 3 in the morning - notebook in hand, madly scribbling ideas while on his break.
Dean is represented by Michelle Halket and is published by Central Avenue Publishing of Vancouver, Canada.

The dolphin drifted aimlessly now he realised he was near where he had been born – he was exhausted but the magic of the shifting bubbles and the visions he watched as they drifted past his body fascinated him...

The Regenesis Cluster is a beautifully woven tale that leaves the reader with feelings of hope and wonder. The imagery is absolutely stunning. Author Dean Mayes has a wonderful talent for painting a vivid picture, and he has used this skill to great effect in this story. This is a great read for anyone who may not have the time to read a full length novel, but wants a story that will leave them thinking for a long time afterwards.

Interesting and well written, but without a real ending.
