About the Author

Daniel Major McQueen was born on November 20, 1955, in Hamilton, Ohio. He grew up in rural Indiana where he became a professional musician at age 10, and was an award-winning musician throughout high school. While in college, he wrote poetry, short stories, and essays, and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a teaching certificate, specializing in oil painting. He taught in both public and private schools, and later opened an art studio where he sold works to individuals as well as galleries in Cincinnati, Ohio.

As an adult, Dan continued his music profession with various bands as well as solo until he began writing and recording original music with his lifelong friend, Melvin R. Nobbe. Dan and Mel have collaborated on various styles of music from rock to blues, ballads, a rock opera, and a symphony, Isabella. They have also written songs for two independent films, Eagles and Bobcats, and Spider Web.

Through the years, Dan has written many poems, lyrics, and short stories - most with psychological and sociological twists. In 2003, he took years of original story ideas and wove them into a psychological study of the human experience in Snowblind, his first published novel.

Dan and his wife, Carla, have three sons. They reside in Hamilton, Ohio.
