Daniel Pascoe
Hello – I write fiction, novels that are both serious and fun, packed with detailed characters and surprising events, that wend their way thoughtfully through the private lives of ordinary people, before crashing headlong into thrilling moments of action, reaching dramatic and often violent conclusions.
You will find humour and romance on the way and I try to make them intelligent, for readers who like reading, delving into other worlds, losing themselves. Once read, I like to think that you may want to read them a second time.
I hope you enjoy them.

Welcome to the new year, the new decade
Over the last decade, our advanced liberal democracies have crafted a society in which millions of people no longer feel recognised or rewarded, a broken society, in which the majority hold the view that traditional politics no longer listens to them but happily...
