Dan is a young unprofessional who lives in southern Ohio and is from Northern California. He is working on a science fiction/fantasy novel (just like everyone else) and has taken to writing short stories on the side to improve his craft. He is wholly realistic about his chances at ever getting published and considers writing to be more a fun hobby and less a practical career. Still, all publishers are welcome to email him for his address so that they may send him contracts and cash advances.
