Darrel William Moore

I've loved both books and science fiction from an early age - so much so it was inevitable I began writing the stuff. My influences include Philip K Dick, Dan Simmons, Ursula Le Guin and Iain M Banks (plus so many more); storytelling and world-building at its best. But other, more unconventional sources inspire me too, such as anime, music and cult TV shows like the BBC classic Blake’s 7 and the iconic Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I enjoy creating complex characters and then putting them through their paces - I don't believe in characters getting an easy time. My first novel, Black Milk, was released in 2016 and I published my second, Delphine Descends, in 2019. I'm currently working on my next.
