Posted by Daniel S. on Wednesday, October 4, 2017, In : New Book Release 
A REAL DAUGHTER is a psychological horror novel that offers readers a frightening take on step-parenting and a disturbing testament to the dark forces within us all.

FINDING KATE AND FUTURE HOLLYWOOD/BOLLYWOOD

Posted by Daniel S. on Wednesday, September 14, 2016, In : New Book Release 

Hollywood, as I experienced it in the eighties, was already beginning to show it's age. Most of the stars who had made all the great films were either dead, retired, or locked suspended animation somewhere in between. By the time the new "Turks" began taking over, nothing was the same.  


In QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016), the fifth in my popular Koski and Falk series, I introduced a character named Kate Keenan, an amalgamation of the characters I met at Screenwriter's school at UCLA, whom I lea...

KOSKI & FALK #5: QUANTUM DEATH

Posted by Daniel S. on Saturday, March 12, 2016, In : New Book Release 

In QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016), the fifth in the Koski and Falk series, the two come up against what very well may prove to be their most complex and dangerous case yet: the Quantum Death Machine.


The product of the fertile late-night imaginations of myself and co-author Raymond Gaynor, the technological "heart" of the story is based on several recent scientific theories. Their application, or, as Koski and Falk discover, "weaponization" is quite beyond anything they've ever experienced. With...

It was an honor and privilege to be asked to join with A. G. Hayes in the continued creation of protagonist Koski and Falk's world of international intrigue.

In QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016), Koski and Falk must pursue separate assignments to find the kvantovaya mashina smerti, or Quantum Death M...

THE DR. IS IN...OR IS HE OUT?

Posted by Daniel S. on Friday, September 5, 2014, In : New Book Release 
My newest release, THE HANGING OF DR. HANSON (Savant 2014), already began receiving wide spread interest and acclaim even before it was released. It's the tale of Dr. Hanson Bumgardner, better known as "Dr. Hanson." The story is set in the tumultuous mid-1800's when historic forces were driving the United States of America towards what seemed to be certain self-destruction.



Hanson Bumgardner is an historical figure. Researching his life, especially on the Western plains and during the Civil W...

IN THE EYES OF THE SON

Posted by Daniel S. on Monday, July 28, 2014, In : New Book Release 
IN THE EYES OF THE SON (Savant 2014) is a fictional novel about a man's struggle to create a place for himself. Like Peter, the protagonist, I spent years building a life that was sound and stable, while trying to achieve success in a field of uncertainties. What I went through since my youth in Holland became the inspiration for Peter's story.



Peter dreamt of life with a camera. His left-wing father, Eduard – a journalist and former WWII photographer – at first supports his son’s ambit...

Goodbye Waiting: HELLO, NORMA JEAN

Posted by Daniel S. on Tuesday, December 21, 2010, In : New Book Release 
Nearly 50 years after her death, Marilyn Monroe remains one of the most popular public figures of all time.  Thousands of fans still talk about her on websites and in chat rooms, her image appears on an endless stream of commercial products, and artists and authors recreate her in their imaginations.


Why are we so enthralled by the memory of this woman? Why does she exert such a powerful pull nearly a half century after her death? In part, of course, it is because she was both extraordinarily ...
