Daniel Hock is the author of Benesh, a historical fiction novel about identity, Jewish family tradition, and redemption, set in 1930s–1940s New York City and World War II.

Daniel Hock lives in Northern Virginia with his wife of 32 years and their cat Jack-Jack. When he’s not writing, he’s either watching British crime dramas with his wife, perfecting homemade lasagna that would make Garfield proud, or sampling every pizza within a 50-mile radius with their son. Before turning to fiction, Daniel spent decades in business, founding and running companies in import and distribution, real-estate investment, retail, e-commerce, product development, and consulting.
