What are Doug Weller’s biggest interests?
Doug grew up in England and now splits his time between London and Los Angeles. As a lad, he loved to act and perform but has got more shy as the years have passed by.
Doug Weller wrote his first full length novel, The Forgetting Cycle, in 2017. Finding time to write a book is never easy. Doug only found the time by having a serious ski accident that nearly robbed him of his left leg. Fortunately, the leg is still functioning and Doug has a book to prove it.
Doug’s next adult novel is currently under development. He has outlined the novel and waiting for the block of time to really start writing. The next book will be a high concept thriller about a penniless artist who accidentally gets access to untold riches. Whilst the story sounds a little close to the truth for Doug Weller, it is actually fiction and will be a real globe-trotting romp filled with action, intrigue and entertainment. The book will be similar in tone Limitless to by Alan Glynn but with money substituting superhuman powers. It could be argued that money is the superpower in the modern world.
