About Daniel James Wilson
First-time author Daniel James Wilson was born in 1956 and raised in the San Fernando Valley. After his parents' separation when he was five, his schooling began to decline, as he could not read fast enough to keep up with the other students. In fact, he did not like reading, so he read very little.
He only wrote what was necessary for his work after he dropped out of school at the age of sixteen and began roofing. In 2009, he was asked to write about his son. This is the result.
