Dann Farrell was born, grew up and attended university in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
He has been a gym instructor, taxi driver, school teacher and health club proprietor before spending well over twenty years trading antiques and fine art across the world.
Though he started writing while still at university, completing an egregiously embarrassing play titled I pulled up an immovable stool, before deciding he had been wildly presumptuous to imagine that, being such a callow youth, he had any right to write about anything.

Twenty years later, he began to scribble when he could. But business was demanding. Everyone, from the newly wed to the nearly dead, was clamoring for antiques, and sourcing a wide range of old decorative items and furniture was time-consuming. So, it was only toward the end of the twentieth century he buckled down to crafting what became his first novel: The Picasso Provenance.
Since then he has written a speculative thriller, Death Stench, that has been described as The Men Who Stare At Goats meets Stephen King’s Carrie.
His next novel, The Gutenberg Legacy, is again set in the darker side of the Art & Antiques arena. He has recently completed the third in this series, The Ice House, which is another standalone thriller based in the antiques trade, yet inspired both by present-day events in the art mileu as well as genuine events which occurred within the past twenty years around the discreet discovery of a World War Two relic in France.

Currently, he is finalizing Project Death, the sequel to Death Stench, which is due to be published soon.
Dann lives in the countryside just outside Belfast.
