Dean Mayes is an Intensive Care nurse who is fascinated by 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 family and dog, and enjoys cooking, Star
Wars, and a good joke.
Dean is the author of four successful novels:
The Hambledown Dream
Gifts of the Peramangk
The Artisan Heart
The Recipient
"A love so strong experienced by two people, is dealt with
sympathetically by the author, who draws them together as if by
fate, with soft, flowing and emotional lines of prose, that are
only enhanced by the paranormal and supernatural overtones."
Fiction Books
" The Hambledown Dream features beautiful writing, a bit of magic,
a touch of music, compelling characters, and the passion of two
souls reaching for one another across the burden of distance and
impossibility. I was both absorbed by the novel, by its lyrical
prose that reads like a song, and moved by the storyline of a man
whose love is so strong, even death cannot stop it. The Hambledown
Dream is at times gritty, but it's real and life affirming, filled
with poignant longing. It's an emotional book that pulls you in by
the heartstrings." Carolina Valdez Miller, author
"In his outstanding debut novel, author Dean Mayes takes his
readers through a uniquely complicated journey of healing,
redemption and love." BookWenches
