Though Daniel Thomas O'Connor has been spinning tales his whole life, he began his first novel in his mid twenties. Now, Book I of The Derkesthai Trilogy, Dragon Moon Rising, is his first complete work. A vital influence for Daniel in writing this series was his view that dragons were more than the vast majority of fiction made them out to be. In fact, he saw a greater picture, in which man and dragonkind lived together peacefully and in relative harmony, until a dagger of evil was thrust betwixt them.

Daniel is currently writing Book II of The Derkesthai Trilogy. He lives in Kansas with his wife and many pets.
