About me
Finishing at Ole Miss in 1998, Dan spent the next decade in infantry assignments in South Korea and the 101st Airborne. That lasted as long as his knees and his back held out. A master's in military history (Norwich University '12) and a somewhat turbulent personal life after the Army inspired what became the Athenaeum Inc trilogy at Cannon Publishing about the shadowy and violent world of military-intelligence contracting (Door Number Three, Doubling Down and 2025's Triple Play). Meanwhile he also slung out a variety of short stories. These have been on everything from intelligent combat machines and the sinking of the Bismarck to the feeding of dragons. He lives in the Tennessee hills south of Fort Campbell with a few dogs, a few too many cats, and a just a little bit of an unusual collection.
