M. Daniel Smith is a writer of fiction, with interest in producing series covering various genres including historical fiction (Legacy's Road) speculative psychological (Coalescence) historical/sci-fi (A Soul, Between) and an upcoming murder mystery (The Cross).His writing encompasses relationships between a diverse group of characters that are real to life, gritty at times, intelligent and feisty, helping to connect the reader emotionally to people that are difficult to let go of. (Thus, the series presentation.) Raised in a blue-collar environment, he spent hours in front of his mother's extensive library, reading novels, exposed to every genre of literary works, from family sagas on through to sci-fi, military histories, and the like.Now retired, able to write full time, he fills his days with the words sent him by the characters who show up, compelling the telling of their stories, allowing readers an intimate look into their motives, desires, joys-and moments of pain. His own thoughts, beliefs, and experiences, garnered from a life lived full, are liberally sprinkled throughout his writing.Daniel can be reached at mdanielsmith@aol.com, or at PO Box 49, Phippsburg, ME 04562.
