Bio Desmond (Des) Nnochiri was born in May, 1965, to the family of Ambassador Pascal Nnochiri, of the Nigerian Foreign Service. He spent his early years traveling with his parents, and was educated in England, the USA, and the Republic of Ireland (Eire).

A film buff and avid reader, he spent several years at the Architectural Association in London, England -
where multiple disciplines and mixed media are a way of life.

A staunch advocate of free software, he was a Web designer, and Information Technology (IT) consultant
- in a previous existence.

In his spare time (and if you ask him nicely) he designs funky-looking buildings that won't fall down.

He writes freelance now, and has taken his first steps into the world of screenwriting.

In 2005, he won the BBC World Service International Vocabulary Competition.

His screenplay, \"First Past The Post\" was among the winners of Script Frenzy 2009, the international
screenwriting challenge.

His work has most recently appeared in Writing-World magazine, A Twist of Noir, Powder Burn Flash, and The Flash Fiction Offensive.

Des is on Facebook, and tweets periodically on Twitter.
