Science fiction has always been a favorite form of prose. When I was young, I'd buy used paperbacks for a nickel or dime at bookstores or flea markets and was greatly entertained for hours on end. I used to stack them on my bookshelves as one did tape cassettes with their titles visible. I would then select a favorite to enjoy discovering ever more as I did so. This collection of stories, and psalms, portray the range of influences, which affected my writing. I grew up watching the Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Star Trek, and One Step Beyond.

Science fiction has always been a favorite form of prose. When I was young, I'd buy used paperbacks for a nickel or dime at bookstores or flea markets and was greatly entertained for hours on end. I used to stack them on my bookshelves as one did tape cassettes with their titles visible. I would then select a favorite to enjoy discovering ever more as I did so. This collection of stories, and psalms, portray the range of influences, which affected my writing. I grew up watching the Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Star Trek, and One Step Beyond. I read authors such as Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, A.E. Van Vogt, H.G. Wells, Jules Verne and a great number of Sci-Fi anthologies. Then too, I enjoyed H.P. Lovecraft, Poe and works such as Paradise Lost, The Odessy, Frankenstein, and Grimm's Fairy Tales. I also read a great deal of poetry over the years. Altogether, in this volume, there is evidence for each of those influences. In it you'll hear those voices, behold such visions and virtual vistas as they come to life. This selection of bizarre tales takes one from the beginning of time to its end and beyond. Yes, there may be stranger things yet to come, as well as the time to tell of them, but I hope this collection will be memorable, for all that. May you grok and enjoy!
Autorenporträt
Dan was born in New York City, New York in 1952. When his father died in 1960, his mother decided to return to California. She managed to raise seven children and do well despite trying circumstances. Dan was the first of his family to complete a college education. He graduated from San Francisco State University in 1975 with a degree in Sociology and in 1985 went back to obtain an elementary teacher's credential. He began teaching in 1987 and for a while writing was set aside. He married in 1989 and soon the muse moved again as he began a return to writing. Science fiction, being a long time fascination, was where he began. During that time, he also made a return to writing and performing poetry in San Francisco's open mic scene, notably at Sacred Grounds Café, where his is the current curator. He's had poetry published in magazines and presented a number of readings in the Bay Area. Although, at first, his readings consisted mostly of haiku, he experienced a rekindled interest in lyric poetry. Most recently he has published three collections of poetry, the completion of two Science fiction manuscripts for young adults, and several children's book manuscripts.
