Derryl Flynn grew up in a northern coal mining town in England during the fifties and sixties. He studied Film-Theatre & TV at Bradford College of Art in the early seventies where he developed a passion for writing drama for screenplay & radio. His debut novel The Albion was first published in 2008. Scrapyard Blues, his second book was published with Grinning Bandit Books in 2014. He achieved finalist in the 2014 Exeter Novel Prize for unpublished work for the first part of the trilogy that comprises his third novel, PRECESSION - Pisces -Aquarius - Capricorn.

   Derryl is a guy who refuses to be pigeonholed. He doesn’t write in any particular genre, but pens fiction for any consenting adult who dares to take a look. His background is as eclectic as his scribbling: Art College drop-out, foundry worker, road builder, scrap man, curtain and blind fitter, and clinical hypnotherapist complete this iridescent list. He thinks he might be okay at making up stories.

   Derryl lives with his wife, on the edge of the moors and just a spit away from Bronte country (not a good idea if the wind is in the wrong direction), where he is currently writing screenplay versions of Scrapyard Blues and the Aquarius book  taken from Precession.
