Away from the page, Dan works for a UK Government innovation agency. He has delivered strategic technology roadmaps for the aerospace, space robotics and cyber security sectors, at both national and international level. All of which comes in rather handy when coming up with new ideas for science fiction stories.

He has published short stores with rising indie publisher Woodbridge Press for their anthologies The Haunting of Lake Manor Hotel, and Journeys. His non-fiction work, "Eat Yourself, Clarice!" is a Lacanian study of Hannibal Lecter and western low culture. The second edition was published in February 2017.

Dan was born in Forest Gate, east London, and now lives in Essex with his wife and two daughters.
