2019 SAVANT POETS ENTWINED

Posted by Daniel S. on Friday, June 14, 2019,

Entwined...

To wind, twist together...interweave. Our relationships and the people who enter and exit our lives that become the fabric of the condition we wear.

The creation of poetry comes of this fabric as well; the soft silkiness of love, the chafing of rough times, the cutting edges of betrayal and lies, the warmth given by a loved one’s arms or a child’s embrace.

And so entwined we all are, like it or not. This edition for Savant explores that fabric, the threads and material...

68 VIA CONDOTTI: THE VATICAN SECRET SERVICE

Posted by Daniel S. on Friday, March 29, 2019, In : New Book Release 
The three-book 68 VIA CONDOTTI series featuring Kate Keenan on special assignment with a cameo appearance by Koski and Falk simply had to be written. Years ago, when I visited and toured the Vatican, I was impressed by a nondescript entrance not far from the Spanish Steps marked simply "68 Via Condotti." Ostensibly, the extraterritorial headquarters of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, I became intrigued by rumors that the Order, with it's extensive diplomatic connections, might be hosti...

Unknown to Americans who are not plagued with this specific kind of prejudice, the Peña family illustrates how difficult it can be as first generation Mexican-Americans in an environment battling vigilantes, hate groups, and Mexican cartels. The story focuses on girls on the border who go mis...

Posted by Daniel S. on Saturday, January 14, 2017, In : New Book Release 

Everyone knows that small towns hide secrets from outsiders. Whether you left and returned, came from elsewhere to attend college at the small liberal arts and technical university, or are just passing through on your way across the country, there are palpable stories hidden in the spaces between street lights. In IN THE SHADOWS OF MY MIND (Savant 2017), the town of Hazelwood has its share of secrets, even from the man it claims as its small-town hero, FBI Agent Stephen Lanford.

Posted by Daniel S. on Wednesday, June 29, 2016, In : New Book Release 
ALL THINGS AWAIT is a story about the brief and chaotic summer misadventure of Lightly—an impossibly good-looking and hopelessly self-absorbed star quarterback from an elite Virginia college.

THE STORY OF ELAINE OF CORBENIC

Posted by Daniel S. on Friday, April 24, 2015, In : New Book Release 
Corbenic's valley lay hidden, in a corner of Lystenoys close by the sea, and it was not wholly by chance that any man found his way there, including Launcelot.

It was spring when he came; the hills of the valley were verdant, the gorse yellow all about, and the evening mists fragrant.  She was not looking for love that day…

She was Elaine, daughter of the fisher king and of the lineage of the grail keepers, and the mystery of the grail, the sacred cup that lay within Corbenic's walls, was in ...

ENOUGH DELIGHTFUL CRAZINESS EVEN FOR "THE LOONS"

Posted by Daniel S. on Tuesday, October 30, 2012, In : New Book Release 
Back in the 1930s, Americans would struggle to part with twenty-five cents in order to spend part of an afternoon at the movies trying to forget the Great Depression and the uncertain times outside the theater. Screwball comedies provided the antidote to their desolation in this difficult time in our history.



In THE LOONS (Savant 2012), I've recreated the spirit of laughable chaos reminiscent of the screwball comedies of the thirties with an eccentric family of seven DeLune cousins that neighb...

Tatsuyuki Kobayashi Enters the Interzone

Posted by Daniel S. on Thursday, December 10, 2009, In : New Book Release 
My collection of woodcuts entitled "The Interzone - A Man of the Dark Grey," after almost a year in production, has just now been released by Savant Books and Publications.



The works in my book were completed between 2005 and 2008. In creating the book, I was myself pleasantly surprised that while the foci, presentations and media changed over time, my interest in portraying people in relation to today's big-city world didn't. By the way, the title, "Interzone," was inspired by a rock band na...
