Daniel W. Hood’s path to authorship is as promising and compelling as his fiction. As a U.S. Air Force veteran and retired Department of Defense employee, Daniel also thrived as a photographer, a TV reporter, and an award-winning amateur bodybuilder. Dan’s life experiences have been fueling his storytelling since the very start, which can be seen in the six books he has published. With a love for Tai Chi and Chinese martial arts, now at 91 and still actively writing, he never fails to prove that passion and persistence can carve out extraordinary second acts.
