Dan Morgan grew up in the family of a career U.S. military father which enabled him to live in a variety of cities in the U.S. and abroad. This itinerant life rewarded him with a rich education of the great expanse of cultures in America and the world, and also imbued him with a strong enjoyment of meeting people who live just a little off the beaten path of society. Throughout his books and short stories, the element of travel and meeting unique people is a recurring theme.

Dan is an avid fan of the canyons and deserts of the Western U.S., and is dedicated to preserving those public lands for public enjoyment. He currently resides in Seattle, WA.
