email: dancardoza@hotmail.com Twitter: @Cardozabig https://www.facebook.com/people/Dan-A... https://www.dan-a-cardoza-literature.com Yes, Dan A. Cardoza was born in a small lumber town named Weed, California. The city was named after this entrepreneur in the lumber industry, Abner Weed. He has an MS Degree in counseling, with a B.A. degree in psychology. Bother degrees were earned at California State University, Sacramento. Dan has been published over 350 times over the years, internationally. Much of his work can be accessed free online at his website, or simply by Googling Dan A. Cardoza, the author. Dan’s main literary interests over the years have included poetry, nonfiction, fiction, and all sorts of pros. He loves writing about northern California, because it has not been explored much over the years in terms of setting. Much of his work involves short stories that occur in cities and towns familiar to Dan, and so he is able to share the rich and diverse topography of the ‘other’ California. Many of his characters include bits and pieces of friends and family, but he makes sure never to out anyone’s behavior. Lately, Dan has written a lot of literary horrors, which is underrepresented in the genre. Writing clear, short, direct sentences doesn’t mean a writer has to short change the reader who desires more nuanced and colorful language. It can be done, and Dan has three horror collections to prove his point. Dan also completed his first novel, and it is listed on his website and Goodreads: The Beginner’s Guide to Betrayal. Should you like, email or message Dan, he would be glad to hear from you.
