Hi, I’m Dane. Nice to meet you!

I’m a published author and freelance writer with over six years of professional experience. Before becoming a freelance writer, I spent eighteen months as a social media executive at a PR agency and just over four years as a social media specialist at a creative agency. I also enjoyed a 12-month stint as a music journalist for a website called VirtualFestivals.

I write out of habit. It’s what I do. When I’m not working on behalf of my clients, I’m writing books of my own – I have six releases on the market, with an average rating of 4* from over 100 reviewers on Amazon and Goodreads. My releases include:

No Rest for the Wicked (supernatural thriller)
Eyes Like Lighthouses When the Boats Come Home (poetry)
Former.ly: The Rise and Fall of a Social Network (literary fiction)
Social Paranoia: How Consumers and Brands Can Stay Safe in a Connected World (non-fiction)
Come On Up to the House (horror novella and screenplay)
Subject Verb Object: An Anthology of New Writing (anthology)
Driven (crime/detective)
