Dan is a USA Today and Amazon best-selling author who wrote his first story at the age of ten and enjoys telling a story or joke. Dan gets his story ideas by exploring the question; What if? In almost every situation he finds himself in, Dan explores what if this or that happened? What if this person died or did something unusual or illegal? Dan’s non-stop mind spin provides him with plenty of material to weave into interesting stories. A fan of books and films that have twists and are difficult to predict, Dan crafts his stories to prevent readers from guessing correctly. He writes every day, forcing the words out when necessary and has written over twenty-five novels to date. It’s not a matter of wanting to write, Dan simply has to. Dan passionately believes people can realize their dreams if they focus and act, and he encourages just that. His favorite saying is – “The price of discipline is always less than the cost of regret” Dan reminds people to get the negativity out of their lives. He believes it is contagious and advises people to steer clear of negative people. He knows having a true, positive mind set makes it feel like life is rigged in your favor. When he gets off base, he tells himself, ‘You can’t have a good day with a bad attitude.’ Married with two daughters and a needy Maltese, Dan lives in Southwest Florida. A New York native, Dan has taught at local colleges, writes novels, and plays tenor saxophone in several jazz bands. He also drinks way too much wine and never, ever takes himself too seriously. He puts out a twice-a-month newsletter featuring articles, his writing and special deals and steals. Sign up at www.danpetrosini.com
