A left-handed bassist who earned a bachelor's degree in psychology back in the olden days when VHS was the dominant home video format, Daniel S. Duvall (who can be found in cyberspace at DanDuvall dot com) enjoys interacting with cats. He swills hot tea at odd hours. When he writes, he listens to music. When he reads, he craves silence. He currently lives back in his native Ohio (following a seven-year detour to California, where he studied screenwriting at UCLA and wrote dozens of non-fiction articles -- mostly around the turn of the millennium for Creative Screenwriting magazine). Daniel S. Duvall's speculative feature film screenplay The Offended Ancestor placed as one of twenty-five semifinalists in the 13th annual American Zoetrope Screenplay Contest.
