Danny Rhodes: writer

About 

After a number of his short stories appeared in magazines on both sides of the Atlantic Danny's debut novel, 'Asboville' was published by Maia Press in October 2006. Well received by critics it was selected as a Waterstones Booksellers Paperback of the Year. It has been adapted for BBC Films by the dramatist Nick Leather.
    His second novel 'Soldier Boy' was published in February 2009.
    A collection of previously published short stories, 'The Knowledge and other stories', was released in October 2011. Focussing on darker, fantastical themes, these stories represent his ongoing fascination with the world of speculative fiction.
