Daniel Claymore has been creating worlds for twenty years. Doing it the hard way, he began his career in film and television on the east coast. Having initially developed a name as a commercial director, helming TV spots for clients such as the United States Air Force, Dan relocated to Los Angeles, where he began working as a feature film editor. His first job as an editor was cutting the cult geek-hit GAMERS: DORKNESS RISING, which gave Dan his first glimpse at just how powerful a dedicated audience of fans can be. More recently, he cut the spiritual follow up to Jules Feiffer's Oscar winning film CARNAL KNOWLEDGE, editing BERNARD & HUEY for director Dan Mirvish, which stars David Koechner and Oscar winner Jim Rash (Community). As a writer, Claymore has created the dramatic sci-fi series THE FAILING MAN, which was sold to Google, the satirical sci-fi action series THE KILL CORPORATION, with over a million views, and the conspiracy-themed (and alarmingly prescient) comedy TRUE ALIEN, which won Best Writing at ITVFEST in 2015. With the ability to tell stories that would challenge the biggest Hollywood budgets, Dan refocused his energy and has found a home in books. REQUIEM FOR A GOOD MACHINE is his first novel.
