About the author
The creative mind behind the stories
Dan Ramm has long been known in the world of televsion writing and producing for his creativness, sense of hummor, and most of all, his ability to tell a good story. Making that leap from script writting to novels isn't easy, but his debut attempt shows that this is what he was meant to do.
"Writing a novel compared to a script for television was exciting to me. No concern for budgets, casting, locations, or network demands. It's all me and my imagination, and that was truly liberating."
