They traveled from place to place, so Daniel grew up on the road, attending fourteen different schools before his father pulled him out of school upon completing the eighth grade. During these empty high school years, Daniel developed an avid taste for reading and read everything he could find by the author Zane Gray. Later, while serving in the US Army, he earned his high school GED and then passed the entrance exam at the University of Hawaii, where he eventually earned a master’s degree in philosophy. During his college years, his avid love of reading continued. He read voluminously the many great literary figures such as Fyodor Dostoyevsky, William Faulkner, and Albert Camus.
After his university years, Daniel went to work for AT&T, and it was during these years that he grew intellectually restless and started writing stories. “The Second Coming” is the first to be published.ver menos
