Danny Davis

After teaching math in college for many years, Danny turned to another of his great loves: literature. Over time, his reading interests have varied widely, ranging among such great writers as Thomas Wolfe, Charles Dickens, Anthony Trollope, the Brontes, George Eliot, Jane Austen, Stephen King, Kate Atkinson, Jennifer Egan, Joyce Carol Oates, and Lauren Groff. Through these writers and others, he spent long periods delving into various genres, both fiction and non-fiction: literary, sci-fi, Victorian, apocalyptic, Holocaust, etc. Danny hopes that his own writing shows the influence of his reading. If there is a central, prominent element that runs through all of his writing, it is family. He believes that the human family, in its many forms, traditional and non-traditional, large and small, is and always has been a powerful and indomitable bulwark against the vicissitudes of our ofttimes precarious existence.
