Dominic de Souza writes vivid and untamed worlds: epic fantasy, epic sci-fi, young adult, and some children's stories. Born in New Zealand, raised in Australia, and educated in Fiji and France, he was the eldest of eight in a semi-feral family that read the local library dry. He wrote his first novel at thirteen, again at sixteen, and graduated from the Writer's Institute for Children's Literature. Twenty-five years in marketing and design paid for the worlds without end he wanted to write about. In the pandemic years he founded LegendFiction, a community for storytellers who treat fiction as vocation. His books include The Ring of Fantasy, a children's adventure for reading aloud, Hero Theory, twenty-five short stories for young men, and two books on imaginative fiction, Legends of the Fall and A Guide to On Fairy Stories. He publishes short stories on Substack and is writing a grim modern retelling of Neverland.
