Dan Wells

Dan Wells was born in 1977. His parents were avid readers and SF/Fantasy fans, and when he was six years old his dad read him The Hobbit. He has been hooked on everything like it ever since.
Wells grew up in the Utah and spent his childhood reading, writing, and learning everything he could. When he was finally old enough to go the library on his own he went almost every day, devouring book after book until the librarians knew him by name. Here he discovered Anne McCaffrey, Robin McKinley, Madeline L’Engle, Lloyd Alexander, and Fred Saberhagen.
Wells lived in Mexico for two years, and travelled to Germany for a few weeks. He got married and had four kids. He has worked as a marketing and advertising writer in a string of local corporations. He has also volunteered on a small press SF magazine (The Leading Edge) and started a game review website.
