edit data

Dan first started writing stories in elementary school, where he and a friend would skip lunch and recess once a month to eat in the library while hearing all about the new books on the shelves. His love for reading, as with visual art and music, has now extended into creating his own fiction. He works as a digital artist and lives in Washington state with his beautiful family of five. A huge fan of audio books, Dan podcasts all of his stories for free. You can find those stories here, or subscribe to the podcast with a button on the right. You can also find cheap eBooks of his stories at Amazon.com and the same ones in different formats including free eBooks at Smashwords.com

Tapping a Screen | A Poem

Poetry is likely best produced

By scratching away at parchment thick

Across creamy tan

Not xerox white

The corners curled not pressed flat and tight

With quill freshly dipped

In ink as black as night

However

This deviation distraction device

Is always by my side

Or in my pocket on a ride

Continuously within reach

To scroll and swipe and waste my time

Or tap away and write lines

True and deep

My thumbs pe
