Daniel Cleaver

I've been stabbed twice, had a gun pulled on me once. They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger - I disagree, it made me angry and longing for revenge.

I've lived On The West Coast, the East Coast and 15 other States between the two. I've been homeless, one time living in a car up in the Rocky Mountains with two other people. I've had handouts from soup kitchens, pan-handled and done various jobs including working in restaurant kitchens (which was hot!) as a roofer in Florida (even hotter!) and I dropped out of school to become a Carnie. All these occupations and the crazy people I've met along the way have helped shape Spooky.

I've also had my own share of mental issues and thought why not have the hero of a novel inflicted likewise, but still be able to function normally - well, normalish.

When not writing I can be found lurking in background of movies and TV shows as a Support Artist.
