Daniel wrote Interstellar Crew longhand at thirteen, becoming Israel’s youngest published novelist. At fifteen, he wrote a book on education reform, hammering away on a rented mechanical typewriter in a laundry closet barely large enough to hold a folding table and a chair.

     After military service, he moved to Australia, mastering English with jotted vocabulary lists carried everywhere from the bathroom to tram stops. A year later, the peer-reviewed journal Foundation featured his essay on William Gibson.

     Decades of detours, dead ends, and one environmental tome later, he returned to speculative fiction at fifty and hasn’t looked back.

Daniel has three stand-alone sci-fi novels—written over the past decade—coming in 2026. Kirkus Reviews praised the first for its “impeccable prose” and “sublime denouement.” Now based in the American Southwest, he’s deep into the next one.
     He writes stories driven by wonder and with no patience for literary fashion. As he sees it, what is possible—or can be imagined—is a wide-open country.
