Darren Joy Profile

Darren is a dark epic fantasy author from the southwest of Ireland. While writing in his spare time, he's held numerous jobs, ranging from IT manager to housekeeping supervisor; however, writing novels has been the only job that truly mattered.
When not conjuring worlds, he's reading, dabbling in digital art, or designing intricate maps to go with all the stories he makes up.
A husband and a cat dad, he is obsessed with all things fantastical—if it's got magic, he's all over it.
Darren also lives with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), a condition that’s changed how he moves through the world, but never how he imagines it.

Epic and dark fantasy (both reading and writing), digital art, book cover design, and formatting. I’m fascinated by metaphysics, geopolitics, and philosophy, and I spend my time conjuring worlds, designing maps and book covers. If it’s fantastical and thought-provoking, I’m probably into it.
