Based in the UK, I mostly write short fiction: dark, provocative, subversive, transgressive, queer, shameless, lyrical & human, in British English.

I am a Writer, a Lover of Books, a Mother & an Usui Reiki Master who loves to read & write & all things Universal. Words move me, inform me, inspire me.

Beatles, Music & interviews with artists & authors. I'm a Freelance Writer, Musician, Singer-Songwriter & Scriptwriter. For more info: Linktr.ee/danielvanauken
