Mar­cus Gibson’s first novel was pub­lished in 1995. The grue­some lit­er­ary thriller sold out in a few weeks. With pub­li­ca­tion shortly after his 22nd birth­day, Gib­son had bro­ken the stand­ing Guin­ness World Record for the world’s ‘youngest nov­el­ist writ­ing adult-themed work’ by two years.

Prior to the pub­li­ca­tion of ‘D’, Gib­son won recog­ni­tion in sev­eral short story and poetry com­pe­ti­tions. ‘D’ received favourable reviews in a num­ber of peri­od­i­cals, and Gib­son made media appear­ances includ­ing radio, print, and live appear­ances on morn­ing and late night television.

Gib­son is 37-years-old and lives in Mel­bourne, Aus­tralia. His pro­fes­sional career has spanned con­struc­tion worker, script edi­tor, pre­sen­ter, cor­po­rate spokesper­son, pro­ducer, soft­ware devel­oper, busi­ness ana­lyst, knowl­edge man­ager, sus­tain­abil­ity advi­sor, and envi­ron­men­tal man­ager in a range of sec­tors includ­ing IT, phar­ma­ceu­ti­cals, prop­erty and finance, civil engi­neer­ing, and con­struc­tion. He con­tin­ues to write prolifically.
