Darren Shan, the 34-year-old County Limerick man’s secret is that he writes books that would have appealed to him as a child
November 1, 2006 (Press Release) --
I like to work as much humour into my books. And there is strong humour and sarcasm in the book as well as the scream or dark parts. I don’t want the books to be totally depressing so that’s why I try and put humour into it. And this appeals to adults as well as children,” he said.
The Limerick writer said that it would be fun to see Darren Shan on the big screen and he imagines an unknown actor will be picked for the starring role. But he added that he won’t have any control over the movie.
His parents, Liam and Breda, are from Pallaskenry but they moved to London for a while in the 1960s, where Darren was born.
Darren received his primary education in Askeaton, and went to secondary school at Copsewood College in Pallaskenry. He then travelled back to London to study at Roehampton University.
But he is now firmly rooted in Pallaskenry, where he lives outside the village with his girlfriend.http://www.limerick.com
