Hi! I’m Daniel De Llano, a queer author from Spain, and I’m new to Goodreads!
I write LGBTQ+ self-help and non-fiction, rooted in lived experience, neuroscience, and storytelling.
While living in San Francisco, I wrote Interconnected: Sex, Dopamine, and Us (an experimental, short non-fiction book exploring desire, connection, and the gay experience), and The Sparkle Trap: Recognizing, Escaping, and Healing from Narcissistic Abuse in LGBTQ+ Love, a book packed with free resources and practical tools for survivors.
At one point in my life, I found myself in serious trouble and struggled to find resources that truly fit my reality: an abusive, long-term gay relationship. That gap is what pushed me to study the mind, research deeply, and begin my journey as a queer author — creating the kind of tools and language I wish I’d had back then.
Today, I work with queer souls trapped in toxic or abusive relationships, helping them break free. I’m an accredited hypnotherapist and coach, and before all of this, I studied performing arts at the Royal Higher College of Performing Arts in Madrid, that's why my books are full of storytelling, making them emotional and a little theatrical.
I’d truly love to connect with you here.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this :) Daniel
