About the Author
D. G. Flamand wrote his first story when he was 7 years old. Since then he always had a strong interest in creative writing. He submitted his first stories to a publishing house when he was 19. But, as he put it, ‘it didn’t go anywhere’. Yet, he didn’t give up about his dream of writing a book one day. He kept writing for many years as a hobby. Then he took on another hobby that would assist him in making a breakthrough in his writings. He began playing the game of chess. Over a period of a decade, he played the game of chess over 2,000 times. Concurrently, his writing skills improved drastically.
Two years ago, in 2007, he embarked on a writing project that would lead to his first published book. He wrote the first-five stories of the series called ‘Tommy and the Magic Dictionary’. This series is intended for juvenile readers, but the response received upon being published showed very clearly that the public at large likes the series.
After submitting these five stories to Tate Publishing, his first book ‘Tommy and the Butterflies’ was published. The second book of this series is now into publishing production. He also wrote many stories for children that appear in other series. The first series of books for children that he created is called ‘The Little Cloud’. The first book of that series is now published. The title of that first series book is called. ‘The Little Cloud and His New Friends’. Denis has completed the first ten manuscripts of this series.
He also worked on another series of books for children called “Isabella the Flying Sunflower”. The first book of this series is also starting production soon. He’s also written ten stories of this series to date and will write many more. D.G. Flamand is also working on two other series of books, one for children and one for juveniles. He also has two novels for adult readers in the works. One of these he intends finishing at the beginning of 2010. The other book intended for adults will have about 700 pages when completed.
In all, to date, D.G. Flamand has twenty-nine manuscripts fully completed and ready for publication. But this is only the beginning for Mr. Flamand. In the next decade his writing projects will amount to nearly 200 books. None of his books carry violence or destruction of any kind. They are very positive stories putting emphasis on non-violent themes. It is an aspect of his writing that he takes to heart to ensure that none of these negative influences be transmitted to his audience through his works.
DG Flamand also invented a new game of chess. After playing the game of chess over 2,000 times, he envisioned improvements that would make this game more challenging. He will write a book of this vision in the near future. D. G. Flamand also has a passion for learning languages. He is fully fluent in English and French and currently studying Spanish and Italian. Mr. Flamand lives in California.
