Born, raised, and still residing in Vancouver, Daniel has worked as an ER Physician for the past twenty years. He is also the author of fifteen published novels, which have been translated into thirteen languages.

In his latest novel, THE DEEPEST FAKE, a tech CEO and AI pioneer’s carefully curated life is unraveling—his wife is cheating, someone is defrauding his company, and he’s just been handed a fatal diagnosis. He’d end it all, if only he could trust his own reality. As deepfakes and deception blur the lines between truth and illusion, the novel explores the challenges and pitfalls of safeguarding reality in an age when it can be fabricated.

Daniel received his B.Sc. and MD from the University of British Columbia, where he is now a clin

Quotes by Daniel Kalla  (?)

“What I fail to understand is how a civilized world that claims to be so appalled by such brutality can simply turn its back on the victims.”
Daniel Kalla, The Far Side of the Sky

“Simon shook his head. ‘The Nazis in Germany…the Japanese here in Shanghai…Treating people as less than human because of the shape of their faces or the sound of their names. Sometimes it feels like the whole damn world is unraveling.”
Daniel Kalla, The Far Side of the Sky

“Ah." Franz nodded. "The extremists, like the rabid Nazis who would kill us Jews with their own hands, have always been around. But the complicit moderates! They are the ones who empower the fanatics. People like this diplomat who are too educated to believe Hitler's nonsense about a superior race but happy to benefit from his hostile policies. They have turned a blind eye and allowed the fanatics to spread their poison and terrorize people at will. Ultimately, men like Schwartzmann have done the most damage.”
Daniel Kalla, The Far Side of the Sky

Toni Osborne Congratulations for providing hours of entertaining reading. I became a fan after seeing you on TV promoting one of your books, was curious, got it, loved it and had to get all of them. Your writing is so captivating but admit scary in some way....

Can't wait for the next release and thank you for accepting my invitation of friendship
