Dean Mayes is an Intensive Care Nurse who is fascinated by philosophy and the paranormal, so his stories weave an element of magical realism with deep humanism. He grew up near Melbourne, Australia, and now lives in Adelaide with his wife, Emily, his children, Xavier & Lucy, and his writing partner – a 10 year old spaniel named, Sam. Dean loves outdoor cooking, anything to do with Star Wars and (insanely) long-form podcasts.
"Mayes's characters inspire sympathy, and I kept reading to learn
more about them." San Francisco Book Review
" Gifts of the Peramangk is an achingly beautiful story about
perseverance and hope that I wished would never end. Dean Mayes
clearly cares deeply about his characters, and his dedication to
them shines through. I highly recommend this tale." Long and Short
Reviews
"It has been a long time since I read a book that made me think
about life and about serious issues instead of just escaping into a
good story. (It was a good story too.) And a longer time still
since a book made me cry because it was so wonderfully written and
contained such a powerful, moving story." Once Upon A Dream
Books
"Dean writes so beautifully, that you can hear the music playing.
You feel the emotions that are poured into compositions from the
artists. I felt like I was back in orchestra, listening to a
playback of a performance." Books Complete Me
