Daniel Parsons Books

Daniel Parsons was born in South Wales, UK. He began writing short stories at the age of nine but didn’t attempt to write a novel until his early teens. His first few attempts were terrible and were never finished. However, at fifteen he started a story called Retrospect which was his sixth attempt at a book. It took nearly four and a half years to complete! A few literary agents gave Daniel encouraging feedback but he ultimately put that project aside, deciding that it was good practice but that he could do better.

While studying English Literature at Cardiff University, Daniel was introduced to the idea of self-publishing and decided to write a Christmas eBook called The Winter Freak Show for Kindle. After uploading it, he discovered a whole community of writers and readers on social media who were happy to help him as a newbie writer. Some of those people are still helping him today!

All of the support persuaded Daniel to pursue writing novels as a full-time career. His following title was Blott, the first book in a teen fantasy series called The Canvas Chronicles. It featured a fourteen-year-old boy who discovered that the world outside his village was a blank canvas and that he could paint life into it using his hands.
