About Daniel Allison

Daniel Allison is a USA Today bestselling author, oral storyteller, podcaster, creative coach and mindset coach. His work is founded on a deep connection to Celtic tradition and an intensely-disciplined lifestyle which pairs writing with martial arts practice. Whether on the page or on the stage, Daniel has a lyrical and evocative style that breathes new life into ancient tales.

Like all old-style oral storytellers, Daniel never uses a book or a script - his vast repertoire of stories are told entirely from memory and interlaced with the magic of the moment.

Daniel’s debut novel, The Shattering Sea, Book I of The Orkney Cycle, is available now as a free download on Kindle, Kobo, Nook & Apple Books.

His USA Today & Kindle USA Top 10 bestselling story collection, Scottish Myths & Legends, is available now.

Finn & The Fianna, Daniel’s retelling of the Finn MacCoull cycle of tales, was published by The History Press in February 2021.

‘I will remain eternally grateful to you for giving me back enough confidence to keep on with storytelling. I’m still improving all the time, and remembering to enjoy the dance of it. I would have given up if your course hadn’t been there.’

- Laura, England
