Don Daglow is the Emmy® Award winning creator of Neverwinter Nights™, which ran for six years on AOL. His novel The Fog Seller has won multiple major independent book awards for fiction, and his non-fiction From Dream to Delivery books are also multiple award-winners. His author website is at www.dondaglow.com. He is a past winner of the National Endowment for the Arts "New Voices" playwriting competition, and his work has appeared in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction under its legendary editor Edward L. Ferman. Don studied writing and theatre under Dr. Steven C. Young at Pomona College, where he received his B.A. in English (Playwriting). He later earned his M.Ed. from Claremont Graduate University, where he became an adjunct instructor upon graduation, and taught Social Studies, English and Theatre as a bilingual teacher at a public middle school in Southern California. During summers he ran a theatre program for grades 3 through 9. While studying under Dr. Young at Pomona College, Don started writing text-based interactive games on the colleges' mainframe computer. This in turn led to his long career in the video games industry. In addition to the Emmy® Award, his game and business honors include being placed on the Wall of Fame at the Computerspielemuseum in Berlin, being inducted into the Hall of Fame at Games Rome in Italy, multiple Game of the Year honors, three listings on the Prestigious Inc. 500™ list, and the 2003 CGE Award for "groundbreaking achievements that shaped the Video Game Industry." He's also held unusual short-term jobs, like County Fair Security Guard, Adult School Spanish Teacher, Royal Playwright for Her Majesty's Puppet Theatres at the original Renaissance Faire, and Spear Carrier at the Marin Shakespeare Festival under legendary directors Ann and John Brebner, who hosted the first reading of the original script for Star Wars. Don Daglow's family has lived in San Francisco and Marin for five generations, and were survivors of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and Fire who camped out in Golden Gate Park after their home was destroyed. His passion for this unique setting shines through in The Fog Seller, which even long-time locals have described as introducing them to new places in the area. He works near the Sausalito Ferry, and he and his wife Marta have lived in three different Sausalito neighborhoods.
