Coffee with Luke: An Evening with Carlton Sinn

Tonight, I had the privilege of sitting down with Carlton Sinn over Zoom as part of the Coffee with Luke series. Carlton is a financial broker who, alongside his wife, runs a family-owned business. But that’s not all – Carlton is also an accomplished author who has recently published his debut science fiction novel, Dargathnon: Sins of the Father.

The Man Behind the Business

Carlton and his wife operate a boutique financial brokerage, focusing on personalized and family-oriented services. Their approach is built on trust and long-standing relationships, reflecting their commitment to community values. During our conversation, Carlton shared how his financial career inspired a deeper understanding of human ambition, decision-making, and risk – themes that have subtly woven their way into his writing.

A Lockdown Project Turned Reality

The idea for Dargathnon: Sins of the Father began during the COVID-19 lockdown. With the world on pause, Carlton found himself reflecting on stories he had always wanted to tell. What began as a creative outlet soon turned into a fully-fledged novel.

Published in 2024, the book has been described as “suspenseful, epic, and incredibly entertaining.” It’s the first installment in the Dargathnon series, and it promises to captivate fans of mythical creatures, thrilling adventures, and richly built fantasy worlds. Carlton shared that his background in finance often made him think about the larger forces at play in our lives – forces that find echoes in the epic struggles of his characters.

What Is Dargathnon: Sins of the Father About?

Here’s the official description:

“Suspenseful, epic, and with incredibly entertaining storytelling, the first book in Carlton Sinn’s Dargathnonseries will delight fans of mythical creatures and adventure-filled fantasy!”

The story is steeped in adventure, intrigue, and richly imagined mythology, making it a must-read for lovers of science fiction and fantasy alike.

Where to Get Your Copy

If Dargathnon: Sins of the Father piques your interest, you can purchase the book through Carlton’s website: https://carltonsinn.com.au/index.php/shop/#. In the future, he hopes to make it available in retail stores like Big W. This is an exciting time for Carlton, and he welcomes any questions or feedback about his work at his email: carlton@sinnfinance.com.

A Glimpse Into the Future

During our chat, Carlton hinted at what’s to come. He’s already working on the next book in the Dargathnon series, promising even more adventure and world-building. Additionally, he shared his dream of balancing his career in finance with his growing passion for writing.

Why This Matters

Carlton’s story is a testament to the power of perseverance and creativity. Whether it’s through his financial brokerage or his literary pursuits, Carlton is someone who seeks to make an impact. His journey from lockdown musings to published author reminds us all that it’s never too late to pursue our dreams.

If you’re a fan of science fiction or just love hearing stories of people following their passions, I highly recommend checking out Dargathnon: Sins of the Father. And who knows? Maybe one day Carlton’s epic world will grace the shelves of every major bookstore.

Stay tuned for more inspiring conversations in the Coffee with Luke series!
