Autorenporträt
After a degree in English at Brasenose College, Oxford, Dan went into advertising as a copywriter and Creative Director before emerging to pursue his love of creative writing. The Powder Monkey of Algiers is his third novel. Dan's first novel, Stuff, is a posthumous collaboration with his TV playwright/screenwriter father, whose legacy to him was not only his original manuscripts, but a wealth of learning, knowledge and technique in the writing craft. Dan's second novel, The Nearly Man, is a work of speculative fiction based on the Apollo 11 moon landings-a thriller and a 'sliding doors' reimagining of the mission gone wrong. Dan has written numerous screenplays.
