About the author

I’m Danny Mac, a storyteller drawn to apocalyptic worlds, survival against the odds, and the resilience of the human spirit. I write fast-paced, immersive fiction that explores what happens when everything falls apart—and what it takes to rebuild.

My passion for storytelling comes from a love of science fiction, survival narratives, and the raw struggle between hope and despair. I enjoy creating stories that push characters to their limits, forcing them to adapt, fight, and find meaning in a fractured world.
