Daniel Swensen grew up on a diet of trashy B-movies, Robert E. Howard, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and EC comics. He's been a student, a disc jockey, a musician, a sandwich artist, a web developer, and a freelance writer. Like many walking, talking, writer cliches, he lives in the idyllic wilds of Montana with his wife and two cats. Actually, he lives in an apartment within walking distance of many conveniences, but he likes to believe he's roughing it. His first novel, Orison, was published by Nine Muse Press in 2014. He currently works as a freelance writer, writing about everything from technology to dog concierges.
