Getting To Know Me

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, 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.
