edit data

Dan is an author of nonsense, mostly. Some like it though, which is good enough for him. Yarns include Here Lies Love, The Caseworker's Memoirs, and The Black Petal.

Dan lives in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire (England) with his young daughter.

Dan grew up reading Enid Blyton's The Famous Five series, secretly coming up with his own inventive adventures, and R.L Stine's The Goosebump series, before turning to the works of Philip Pullman, Eoin Colfer and Marcus Sedgwick and slipping away into alternate realities.

Quotes by Dan C. Thompson (?)

“What is love worth in this broken world? Nothing!” he spat. “Absolutely nothing. Love won’t feed you. Love won’t rescue you from starvation. Grow up, Abbey. I didn’t raise you to be half-witted and so mentally defective.”
― Dan Thompson, Here Lies Love

“Face up to reality. Do you see happy families huddled together? No, you don’t. This is a dog-eat-dog world, Abbey. Don’t pretend you didn’t already know that. You need to cut the baggage and attachments of the heart. Weakness, the lot of it.”
― Dan Thompson, Here Lies Love

“You soppy thing,” Tristan giggled, wiping away her tears. “Life is unforgiving and callous at the best of times, you need to learn how to forgive yourself of any misdemeanours. No one else is going to do it for you. Hold your head up high, Abbey, you’ve done nothing wrong.”
― Dan Thompson, Here Lies Love

Dan’s Quotes

“He had hair that would terrify a comb and his face was one big scowl with a nose, two eyes and two ears seemingly added on as an after-thought.”
