About this author

Born to a Virginia farming family, D. R. Haney moved in his teens to New York City, where he studied acting and supported himself through the usual odd jobs. After relocating to Los Angeles to star in a film for legendary producer Roger Corman, Haney found himself with an unsought career as a screenwriter. He also began to contribute to zines and alt-weeklies, reflecting his growing participation in the underground music scene. His interest in music, coupled with the consequences of a life-altering car accident, resulted in the novel Banned for Life, which he moved to Belgrade, Serbia, to write. Banned was published in May 2009 by And/Or Press, and Subversia, a collection of essays, was published by TNB Books in October 2010.

Here's a link to my interview on my favorite podcast ever, and I don't just say that because I've (finally) been on it. Still, I do wish I could learn to speak in complete sentences.

“It all began with a fuck. What doesn't? I fucked the wrong person; I fucked up the right one; somebody played me a song. It changed my whole life, that song. That's why I later went to so much trouble to find the guy who wrote and sang it.”
D.R. Haney, Banned for Life

“I read so much, in fact, that one of my exes used to complain that I spent all my money on booze and books, which inconveniently couldn't be bought at the same locations.”
D.R. Haney, Subversia

“[...] nothing comes from comfort but the fear of losing it, and that's exactly where my generation made its big mistake. Yet discomfort's no good either. There's just no winning, is there? Do it one way and lose your soul; do it the other way and lose your livelihood. You guys who run the world, you've got all the bases covered.”
D.R. Haney, Banned for Life

“Writing a novel is a terrible experience, during which the hair often falls out and the teeth decay. ”

Robby I wish I could have saved the message you attached with your friend request to me, but I'm pretty sure it disappeared when I approved it. Thank you. :]

Aaron Dietz Thanks, D.R.! That means a lot to me, coming from the fabled author of Subversia (which I intend to get to soon)! A lot of talent sitting around on that TNB site, for sure. Ben's book was like a long lost (but now found) dream to me....

D.R. Haney Thanks for being the first fan of BFL.

I just read a description of Totally Killer on Rebecca Adler's website (The Inside Cover) and was completely fascinated. Can't wait to read it.
