Hi! I'm D. G. Driver. Welcome to my website.
Thanks for visiting.
I am an author of Young Adult & Middle Grade novels
(and a few other fun things too)
If you're looking for something to read, my site is full of excerpts, reviews, and links for all my published work.

What's important to me? Kids and how they view the world. I'm an optimist, and if I have any goal at all as an author, it's to inspire hope. I like to write about diverse characters dealing with social or environmental issues and making an impact. I want my readers to be entertained, of course, but I also hope that at the end of reading one of my books they will be a little more aware of how they treat each other or the world around them.
I am a multi-award-winning author of Young Adult and Middle Grade books and PAL member of SCBWI. Primarily, I write contemporary fantasy, but I also love some realistic fiction and have even dabbled in romance.
I live near Nashville, TN and am a teacher in an inclusive classroom of typically developing and special needs children in an Early Intervention program. I called on my experience as a Special Education teacher and growing up with an Autistic brother in my children's novel No One Needed to Know.
When I'm not writing or teaching, I might be found singing, acting, or directing in a local community theater production with members of my talented family.
