About this author

Dwayne Kavanagh, as a child, found comfort in the dark corners of his imagination. In 2005, he sat down in a small home-office, let the stories transfer from those lightless caverns to the bright screen of his laptop computer, and has been scribbling every day since. His first book was published in August 2009.
Dwayne creates worlds, where you see more than you read. His descriptive detail leaves some room for the reader to use their imagination but enough to set the landscape and take you on a terror-filled ride. His dialogue is real and relevant to the time period he writes about.
Dwayne Kavanagh was born in Toronto and raised in Burlington, Ontario, Canada.
Dwayne Kavanagh lives with his Fiancée, Nicky and her sports fanatic son Lucas, a...more

message 16: by Tim

Tim Callighen I just read the first two of the Dragon Tattoo books.
The first one, though a great story, wasn't that well written I thought. Too much explaining and expostion disturbed me. But the story was good.
The second book was way way better and i loved everything about it. I am taking a break now before i read the last one.
