About this author

I'm an accidental science fiction author.
A few years back, broke, desperate and living with my wife and three kids at my in-laws, I decided to get together with my brother, Eytan and write a book. Mind you I had no idea how to go about this but I did know that Eytan had some great ideas and little tenacity and I had a lot of tenacity and a gift for knowing how to turn great ideas into a marketable ones. I applied my advertising copywriter skill set (word craftsmanship and reader empathy) to the one idea of Eytan's I felt was strongest and then together we created an outline, basic plot points and an extrapolated world built on that initial concept. 8 years later our first book, The Unincorporated Man, hit the shelves, the net, and the airw...more

Dani Kollin LOL. Well, speaking of that ephemeral quarter and in the immortal words of our new leader, change is good.

Couldn't resist.

Ceridwen Hi Dani! I'm jazzed to see you have a shiny new author page. And I think the "accidental author" thing is to your credit and speaks to your merit. If I had a nickel for every person I knew with an unpublished book, I'd have, like, a quarter. Hey, it's a quarter! Every two bits count in a time of recession.
