The Final Affair

Coming Soon

ABOUT

Dana is a screenwriter and novelist with a taste for the dark, mysterious, and occasionally unexplainable corners of the human condition. Why do we keep secrets? What are we hiding from others? What are we hiding from ourselves? Did Dana leave a banana in the car overnight?

His recent work includes the thriller GASLIT, the crime procedural GHOST RETRIEVAL, and the multi-cam comedy DESERT HO. He is also the author of two Austin-based crime fiction novels — FLATLINE and HALF LIFE — and the stage play Don't Date a Banker, a comedy about the 2008 financial crisis.

When he's not writing, Dana does pretty well at cocktail parties. Most of the time.

  • "Flatline by Dana Barney was awesome! I haven’t read anything like that in a long time, if ever. For once it seemed like the characters were anything but the stock, ordinary typical hero/protag guys, but instead all had demons, motivations, secrets,"

    —Barnes & Noble review

  • "Half Life is a tricky, cerebral action-filled thriller that fulfills the promise of its predecessor."

    —Austin-American Statesman
