Toastmaster D.L. Young

Our 2024 Toastmaster is writer and editor D.L. Young!

D.L. Young is a Pushcart Prize nominee and winner of the Independent Press Award. He’s fluent in Spanish, speaks passable Portuguese (the Brazilian flavor), and he religiously follows English football squad Manchester United. He’s also much less serious than his author photo implies.

A lifelong science fiction fan, his intense, fast-paced novels echo his many influences from books and movies, including Star Wars, the Mad Max films, Dune, Blade Runner, Star Trek, Harlan Ellison, and the novels of William Gibson.

If you like page-turning, edgy science fiction, you’re definitely his kind of reader.

His Empire and Ashes Series trilogy is coming soon, and you can currently read an excerpt from Volume One, Jeryn’s Dagger, on his website.

His 5-book Cyberpunk City saga involves a war between artificial intelligences. His Dark Republic series is a near-future dystopian trilogy set in the aftermath of a failed Texas secession.
