About Me:

Dante O'Donnell was born in Manchester, England in 1968 in the back of a taxi in dire need of a shave. He spent several years in the home of jazz and voodoo: New Orleans, USA before returning to England in 1994.

Dante's epiphany moment came in 2001 when he suffered a collapse on the Greek island of Kefalonia and was hospitalised on his return to the UK. During this dark time he was declared momentarily dead on an operating table and was, by some miracle, revived and managed to recover.

Back from the dead, it has been his mission ever since to write and a publish a damn fine series of crime novels.

Dante has been working on The Unknowns, a dark thriller about the 1930s Cleveland torso killer and the efforts of the Untouchable's Eliot Ness to capture him for a year and is hoping to publish soon.

Dante is married to Helen and they live in Staffordshire. They are expecting a baby in 2008.
