The Novel Parlour’s little brother
By David Sines
Welcome. I write young-adult dystopian fiction, including A.C.T. and Trust in the Nora and Alai series. I’m currently working on the third book, Oversight.

Where the name came from
Once upon an age, I was a little boy whose sister owned a bookshop — The Novel Parlour. It was quaint, unique, and short-lived. But in my memory, it remains a glowing gem.
I can’t browse her shelves anymore or type random gibberish on the store computer, but now I traverse an endless universe of fiction and write new worlds within it.
The Novel Parlour’s little brother is not a bookshop. But within these walls lives the same spirit—books, small blurbs of book news, and fellow bookworms. A tribute to my sister’s dream, and a thank you for mine.
But even if you never subscribe — thank you for being here and part of my literary world.
