Daryl Banner is a successful author, composer, and performer who has gained recognition as a USA Today Bestselling author. He has a diverse academic background, having graduated magna cum laude from the University of Houston Honors College with a degree in Theatre and Psychology. Banner's writing career was greatly influenced by his time in college, where he wrote, composed, and produced a musical under the mentorship of Tony Award-winning musical and Theatre producer Stuart Ostrow. He also wrote two original plays and his very first novel under the guidance of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lanford Wilson.
In addition to new adult and M/M romance, Banner also writes post-apocalyptic fantasy and dystopian novels. His love for music is also reflected in his work, as he composes original soundtracks that accompany his books and series. Banner's musical talents extend beyond writing soundtracks, as he is also an accomplished video game music remixer, with one of his remixes featured in the major motion picture "The Spy Who Dumped Me." He is an obsessive self-taught pianist and a huge video game enthusiast, having left his day job of 10 years to tour with a 2-woman-1-man original musical. Banner's music can be enjoyed on his Bandcamp page, and readers can connect with him and other fans in Daryl's Doorway on Facebook.
