D.B. Rocher

D.B. Rocher is an Australian writer who grew up in the country, not far from the remote cattle stations of western Queensland where Station Boys is set. The wide-open spaces, rugged landscapes and distinctive character of rural life have always stayed with him, providing inspiration for his writing.

Now living on the coast with his partner, D.B. draws on his memories of country life and the experiences that shape who we become. His stories explore love, identity, masculinity and the search for a place in the world, often focusing on the unexpected connections that can change the direction of a life.

Station Boys is a story about first love, self-discovery and the courage to imagine a different future. At its heart is the idea that sometimes the people who enter our lives unexpectedly can change everything.

D.B. writes contemporary fiction grounded in a strong sense of place, with an interest in the quiet moments, complicated emotions and life-changing decisions that make us who we are.
