Darren O'Shaughnessy / Darren Shan

I was born in London in 1972. Moved to Ireland when I was 6 years old, where I've lived ever since. I always wanted to be a writer — I've loved telling stories since I was a child. Started out writing books for adults, and managed to get a couple published. One day, on a whim, I decided to try a book for children. The result was Cirque du Freak. Much to my surprise, it took off, and I became a de facto children's author! Since then I've used my ill-gotten gains to buy lots of comic-strip art and travel the world. When I'm not working or travelling, I like watching movies. And I've even been known to read the odd book or two.
