edit data

Daniel wrote Interstellar Crew longhand at thirteen, becoming Israel’s youngest published novelist. After military service and a move to Australia, he mastered English one word-list at a time. A year later, the peer-reviewed journal Foundation featured his essay on William Gibson.

Decades of detours, dead ends, and one PW starred-review environmental tome later, he returned to speculative fiction at fifty and hasn’t looked back.

Now based in the American Southwest, Daniel writes stories driven by wonder and no patience for literary fashion. As he sees it, what is possible—or can be imagined—is a wide-open country.
