DL Hammons wrote his first piece of fiction decades ago to impress a girl (he was moderately successful) and never looked back.

Growing up as a military brat, DL moved around quite a bit as a kid. After graduating from LSU and raising a family in several southern states, he now makes his home in Central Arkansas, where he has spent the last dozen years perfecting his voice, splitting his writing time between YA and Adult Mystery/Suspense. Besides being an author, DL claims that the most interesting thing about him is that he lacks a sense of smell. Other passions include (but are not limited to) his family (including his two mini-Australian Sheppards), music, movies, video gaming, and cool weather camping.

Prick by D.L.  Hammons
"Loved it

This YA mystery is an edgy Hardy boys meets Nancy Drew feel. Characters are great. I am usually one to guess the bad guy, but this one kept me in the dark start to finish. "
D.L. Hammons and 1 other person liked Amber Nystrom's review of Moving Fear:
Moving Fear by D.L.  Hammons
"“Moving Fear” is a captivating read that perfectly balances spooky and mysterious elements. The writing is so vivid and engaging that I felt like I was right in the middle of the story. I got so caught up in it that even my dog managed to scare me — " Read more of this review »

"When I say I’m a dedicated fan, I mean I am a DEDICATED FAN of D.L. Hammons.

Veering off the familiar twists and turns of his mystery and thriller roots, Hammons not only delivered—he created a story and a cast of characters you can’t help but fall in" Read more of this review »

“As I made my way towards the kitchen I couldn’t help but notice how intricately decorated their house was. Every nook and cranny held some sort of homemade craftwork.”
D.L. Hammons, Prick

“Mark Twain once said, and I’m paraphrasing, ‘We never hear the Devil’s side. We have none but the evidence of the prosecution, and yet we have rendered the verdict. That is un-American’.”
D.L. Hammons, Prick

“we are all like those balloons, an inner part that is the real us and an outer layer that we allow everyone else to see. Most of the time we can get a good read on people because their outer layer is mostly transparent, allowing us to see what’s inside. But there are people who possess an outer layer that is less transparent, and sometimes even mirrored, so you only see—” “—what they want you to see,” Delta finished.”
D.L. Hammons, Prick

“Remember to always be yourself. Unless you suck.”
Joss Whedon

“The six rules of life.
1. Don't like something just because you think other people will like it, because they won't.
2. What you think is important isnt. What you think is unimportant is.
3. Lean into it.
4. Don't shit where you eat.
5. Most doors are closed so if you want them to open you need a cool knock.
6. Don't sleep with people who have more problems than you do.”

“In a good bookroom you feel in some mysterious way that you are absorbing the wisdom contained in all the books through your skin, without even opening them.”
Mark Twain

“For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

“If I were a monster, I'd pretend to be human.”
