BIO

Raised on the Yorkshire coastline in the United Kingdom, D R Shores studied for an honours degree in engineering prior to a twenty-five year career in business.

Literature has always been a passion, with a taste ranging from Sigrid Nunez and Thomas Harris to established twentieth-century classics from Ernest Hemingway, Jean-Paul Sartre, Ayn Rand and Milan Kundera.

The long-standing aspiration to write creatively was partly satisfied through songwriting for his band until work began on Shallow Stock in 2020.  Reducing commitments elsewhere in mid-2022 allowed him to focus almost solely on the book’s development through to completion early the following year.

D R Shores lives with his wife, two children and introverted dog in the east midlands area of England. Beyond writing and music, his other interests include current affairs, volunteering and keeping fit.
