Daryl Banner has been self-publishing since 2010, building a catalog of over 90 books across romance, paranormal fiction, and dystopian fantasy. His work ranges from steamy M/M college romances to zombie apocalypse fiction to epic fantasy sagas, often with LGBTQ+ characters at the center.

His biggest series is Spruce, Texas, a ten-book small-town romance set in a fictional Texas town, with new entries still coming out in 2025. The Brazen Boys and Boys & Toys series focus on college-aged characters in M/M romance settings, while the Outlier saga goes in a completely different direction with a nine-book dystopian fantasy. The ABCs of Love is a 20-book set of standalone romances, each titled with a word starting with a different letter of the alphabet (skipping a few).

Banner also writes paranormal fiction with The Beautiful Dead series and supernatural comedy with My Ghost Roommate. His standalone novels and short fiction round out one of the more varied catalogs in self-published M/M romance.
