Once upon a time I was a weird and nerdy kid with a taste for World War II history, JRR Tolkien, and Larry Hama's GI Joe comic books. Then I got into Tom Clancy, Stephen Hunter, Robert Heinlein, and so on. I still have a bit of a book hoarding problem. To make a long story short, I finally finished up at Ole Miss then walked into a recruiting office and spent several years being much cooler than I am now, while abusing my liver and tearing up my knees. While sitting behind a desk partly crippled, I discovered John Ringo, Tom Kratman, and Larry Correia. Then I started trying to write books instead. Writing is a combo platter of issues, ask the late Hunter S. Thompson or Anthony Bourdain if you don't believe me, but it's still cheaper than therapy. Authors are supposed to be slightly unhinged, and the all the 'troubled veteran' stereotypes give you so much maneuvering room in a space already filled with oddballs. Pushed by friends, I was nearing completion on one really good manuscript. Then I ran into a guy on a rifle range at LibertyCon 2022, and we got talking while I loaned him a M1 Garand. It turns out he was a publisher. That sold my first novel. Thanks, John. That turned into "I need the sequel in a year." A couple short stories besides, then "I need the sequel in a year." A few more short stories, and I know I have to have Athenaeum 4 done in just under a year. You can find my latest ramblings on Facebook at "Dan Kemp Author" since Amazon has disabled author blogs.
