Darcy Green

Darcy Green has been writing and reading queer stories since their LiveJournal days. Their debut novel, After the Siren, is a romantic comedy about two AFL players who don’t dislike one another after all. Darcy lived in Adelaide, Sydney, Canberra and Oxford before settling in Melbourne with their wife and two very spoiled rabbits. When they are not working or writing, Darcy can be found playing ice hockey, gaming, or planning elaborate sewing projects.
