As we are going to see the author Darren Shan in Glór tomorrow, we are all very excited about this event, myself included. This post is information about him.
Darren O'Shaughnessy was born in London, England. Darren started school at the age of three in England, but he moved with his family to Limerick in Ireland at six.
At age twenty three, Darren became a proper author, but he first started writing in his early teens. He enjoyed his first taste of literary success was at age 15, as a runner-up in a television script-writing competition for RTE, with a dark comedy script entitled "A Day in the Morgue".
After writing a few adult books before the turn of the century, Darren wrote a children's book in January of 2000 as a standalone book. It was called Cirque de Freak. It turned out to be more popular beyond Darren's expectations. The series had twelve books, as well as a prequel series, along with a movie which causes whoever mentions it to be looked down upon.
