The Author
D.M. Hunter
Storyteller of enchanted worlds and the hearts that wander through them.
D.M. Hunter grew up surrounded by old forests, older libraries, and the kind of quiet that makes you believe something magical might be just around the next tree. Those childhood wanderings became the seeds of the Hans trilogy — stories about courage, belonging, and the strange, beautiful things we find when we stop looking for them.
When not writing, D.M. can be found haunting secondhand bookshops, drinking too much tea, and taking long walks that always seem to end somewhere unexpected. The Hans books are a love letter to every child who ever felt a little out of place — and to the adults who still remember what that felt like.
“I write the stories I needed as a child — ones where the quiet, careful kid turns out to be exactly the right person for the adventure.”
— D.M. Hunter
How It All Began
The first Hans story started as a bedtime tale told to a restless seven-year-old who refused to sleep unless the wooden girl came back in the next chapter. Three books later, she still hasn't stopped asking what happens next.
The Hans Trilogy
Three novels. One unforgettable journey through forests, glass kingdoms, and the magic that lives in ordinary things.
