Author Bio:
Dan-Dwayne is a retired school teacher. He taught school for 24 years and for a while he was the Art Director for two West Texas news channels. He says that when he writes a mystery it’s like he’s putting together a jigsaw puzzle without a picture on it because even he doesn’t know where it is going to end. He says that it feels good when he writes a story and all the pieces start fitting together. Most times his writing is a form of discovery because he often has to review the clues for himself to know who the killer was. He insists that all his characters are only a conglomeration of words until the moment when the reader sees them with human flaws. No matter if the story is outrageously funny or deadly serious… no matter if it is voicing a reflection of our culture or just written to make you laugh. The characters must tap into the human condition. He believes that nothing in life is a coincidence, that God is the author of life. Every misfortune and success, every birth and death is orchestrated by the author of life and he spends a multitude of hours trying to imitate the adventure we call living.
