Hailing from Detroit Rock City, Daniel J. Hogan set forth at a young age to carve his own destiny out of the untamed Michigan frontier. But then his mother decided it wasn't a good idea for a young child to play with knives, so that set him back a few decades.

Schooled in the finest public institutions the suburbs of Detroit had to offer, Daniel eventually finished the first grade and excelled satisfactorily through the rest of his days as a student. After proving to his father, Dr. Prof. Rutherford Hogan Sr., that he could stop eating paste long enough to actually learn something, Daniel was sent off to the most affordable state university his parents could find in Michigan (aka "The Mitten State").

Now, with a degree in bubble gum machine repair in hand, Daniel is poised to make his name in the world as a fledgling fantasy author. After years of research, hundreds of spelling errors, and thousands of cups of coffee, he has finally finished his opus, The Magic of Eyri.

Drawing on experiences from his own life, Daniel (who apparently really likes seeing his name everywhere), put finger to keyboard for months on end to construct (in his own words) "...An amusing little jaunt into the world of...wait a mo', I have another call."
