Daz James Writes

Hi there and hello,

This week, I come to a real turning point: I’ve realised that I’m not “just writing stories” — I’m a content creator. My medium is words, and my stories are the entertainment I create for an audience who shows up, follows along, and becomes part of the journey.

When I launched this site, my hope was simply to share my writing. But over time, I’ve come to see that every post is part of something bigger: a creative conversation with an audience. I publish new updates — serial drama, space-adventures, heartfelt reflections — not just for me, but for you, the readers. I’m building a community, storytelling one instalment at a time.

What makes this website special is that you’re not simply receiving a final, polished product. You’re watching me craft these worlds in real time. Each serial episode goes up as soon as it’s ready. As the story grows, I sometimes go back to refine earlier chapters — fixing a continuity thread, sharpening a moment, or adding a line that better supports where the characters are heading next. The destination never changes, but the path may gain new colour, clarity or texture as the story deepens.

Most readers only ever see the finished version of a book or series. Here, though, you get to come along for the creation ride. You see the story as it’s built, shaped, questioned, and improved. That means there’s always something new to discover, even in posts you may have read before. I encourage you to revisit earlier instalments — not because the outcome has changed, but because the storytelling might now hold a richer layer or a detail that wasn’t there the first time.

To everyone who reads, re-reads, comments, or quietly follows along: thank you. You’re part of this evolving creative space, and I’m excited to keep sharing each step of the journey with you.

Until next time,

Daz James.

Thanks for helping me create a home for stories that are a little queer, a little strange and full of heart.

Happy reading,

Daz James

I grew up in a small country town in Australia where being different wasn't celebrated. I was made to feel like an alien on my own planet because I was feeling and thinking differently to my peers.

I looked for escapism through the world of books searching for where I belonged. They were my respite from the real world. Yet still didn't find people like me.

I started to write to express myself and hopefully wonder provide an imaginative world for someone else to escape. This became a struggle as LGBTIQA+ books were not in favor by publishers until recent years, so I suffered the pain of rejection letters until I had my first short story published in a short story anthology series.

This was the boost that I needed to keep writing, to never give up, and never give in. Now, here I am promoting my first novel called Earth Boy.

Earth Boy - Daz James

Alfie runs away from his father, who bullies him because he won't take off his new rainbow socks or his mother's nightie - it is all he has left of her. His desperation to escape leads him to a desolate train station and a Kate Bush wannabe called Daphne.

She drags him onto a train that shouldn't be there, transporting them to an unearthly destination, The Caravansary, a pit-stop to the wider universe. He is stranded in a strange world where inhabitants want to enslave, possess and even fatten him up.

His only saviour is a bewitching hottie called Charisma Junt who looks good in everything he wears.

Alfie soon becomes embroiled in a fiendish plot that could have dire consequences for humanity. How can an underachieving daydreamer, who spends far too much time in his own head, stop environmental terrorists and a psychotic real estate agent?
