edit data

Daniel Pascoe was brought up in London in the nineteen-fifties and sent away to boarding school at 13. He had always wanted to be a doctor and trained in St Bartholomew’s Hospital. After a couple of post-graduate degrees, he worked as a cancer specialist the north-east of England for thirty years. Now retired he spends much of his time writing, far from the hubbub of city life, enjoying peaceful periods of contemplation and sometime playing the most golf.
Constantly on the look-out for opportunities for pensive introspection, he likes fiction-writing for its distinct contrast; and its way of setting its own rules and telling its version of the truth. He uses the novel as a means of seeking honest explanations. He started writing stories at Daniel Pascoe was brought up in London in the nineteen-fifties and sent away to boarding school at 13.

Now retired he spends much of his time writing, far from the hubbub of city life, enjoying peaceful periods of contemplation and sometime playing the most golf.
Constantly on the look-out for opportunities for pensive introspection, he likes fiction-writing for its distinct contrast; and its way of setting its own rules and telling its version of the truth. He uses the novel as a means of seeking honest explanations. He started writing stories at prep school, filling school notebooks with scribbled lines of nonsense, graduating to his father’s portable typewriter in his teens, still never quite completing anything. So, it has not been until much later with more time and experience to draw on, that he has tried to succeed in a world that has always fascinated him, creative and literary writing.
Literary heroes from the past include Alexandre Dumas, Charles Dickens, Daphne Du Maurier, Somerset Maughan and HE Bates. In the contemporary world, the greatest novelists of our times, John le Carre, Cormac McCarthy and Hilary Mantel would be joined by favourite historical novelist, Dorothy Dunnett. But there are so many great authors to be found: Edna O’Brien, Salmon Rushdie, Sarah Waters, Ian McEwan, to name but a few.
His efforts have all been self-published in one way or the other, having not yet found a literary agent supportive of his hybrid mix of literary and commercial writing. His novels are filled with well-drawn characters and the action often slow-burns before running headlong without stopping to dramatic often violent conclusions.
He lives with his family on Teesside. The aim is to write during the dull winter months and read and research and play golf and walk the dogs during the summer, but actually he tends to be writing the whole time now, with a number of different projects on the go at the same time. Fortunately, the two dogs are small and fluffy and a couple of turns around the kitchen island is usually enough. One day he hopes to find an agent to help him propel his career into new and exciting areas.
