After the Siren is Darcy Green’s upcoming debut novel out 23 September 2025.
It’s a romantic comedy about inconvenient attraction, second chances and the joys of AFL.
So, After The Siren. If you’re an AFL fan, you know exactly what I’m talking about. But I thought I’d make a post to explain the title to readers who don’t.
Today, I thought I’d introduce the second protagonist in After the Siren - Jake Cunningham. Some writers talk about how their characters just appear in their brains. I personally always feel more like I’m excavating my characters — it can take me quite a while to get a feel for them. I start with a bit of dialogue, or a scene, and then I gradually work out all the other parts of the character.
