Alan Peart was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1974 and currently lives in Yorkshire, England. He's old enough to remember an Ireland without mobile phones or Internet, but young enough never to have heard a Daniel O'Donnell song.

Alan writes novels, poetry and free-form prose. The Unborn versus the Undead is his first published book, but more are on the way. Everything he writes is based on one idea: we don't know anything about the world, we only know about our own mind, and how it sees the world. Because of this, writing (and reading) is about integration. We have to get to know what's in our subconscious mind, or it controls us. This is what personal evolution is.

Alan's writing is surreal, vivid, sometimes serious, and sometimes funny. If you like things that seem both weird and important at the same time, it could be for you.
