Darren Youngson’s writing kick-started after experiencing a nightmare which became vividly stuck in his mind. It refused to go away until he put pen to paper and created his first short story. From then on, he continued to write and gained the opportunity to join The Writers Bureau and undertake a writing course to help boost his knowledge of the art. Influenced by horror writers, he started work on his first novel, THE CALLING, eventually self-publishing it.
He lives in Scotland and is currently working on the second book along with other writing projects. When not writing, he can be found voraciously devouring books or exercising.
