Biographies

Depression can convince you that there’s no escape. Your thoughts may turn to suicide because it appears to be the only option. But depression is a liar. I suffered from life-threatening bouts of depression that led to alcoholism, drug abuse, medicine-induced psychosis and multiple hospitalisations. This memoir recounts my struggle and triumph over depression. I hope it helps you or your loved ones if any of you are struggling.

Although originally from Australia, Danny travels the world full-time while he writes his novels. His future goals include visiting every country in the world, hitting the New York Times bestseller list, getting married and starting a family.
