Daniel Steeves Connaughton lives in Massachusetts with his wife and son, three cats, and nine chickens. While he was one of those kids that thought he'd never use geometry in the real world, he now uses it every day as a CAD Operator.

With IMORA, it was grand fun to see the world through the eyes of a dragon, taking careful steps not to anthropomorphize her too much, while still keeping her sympathetic and relatable. How does a powerful being perceive tiny humans with short life spans? How does she deal with missing out on a hundred years of history while sleeping and waking into a changed world each time?(less)

Daniel’s Quotes

“I'm sorry. I'm used to people objecting to things because they think I can't do them or shouldn't do them. It didn't occur to me that you might have a real reason.”
