edit data

DJ Slater is a Milwaukee native with a love for sharing stories. He wrote his first in third grade followed by several more during his school years, mostly about dinosaurs and an ambitious detective. His passion for writing took him on an appropriate career path – journalism, magazines and marketing.

When not writing, he loves acting, singing, movies, his family, friends and (not surprisingly) haunted house attractions. A special shout out to his late Grandma Barb, who told him to write his stories down.
