Dan Linssen writes from his home overlooking the water just outside Green Bay, Wisconsin. Raised on a traditional dairy farm, and now semi-retired, Dan journeyed through a diverse career of management, consulting, and educational roles. Hobbies have included: flying, auto sports, playing in a rock and roll band, downhill skiing, travel, history, video production, and, of course, writing. His non-fiction book, "Who’s to Blame – Living along society’s 'fault' line" assists individuals and organizations struggling with the destructive effects of playing the blame game. Now, with time to pursue more fanciful creative writing, Dan chose to tackle fiction. In addition to several short stories, Dan has published two novels. "Leaving Juneau County" is the story of four teenagers coming of age in small town Wisconsin, and their choice to trade the comforts of the known, for the possibilities of the unknown. Heavily researched for authenticity, but populated primarily with fictitious characters, Leaving Juneau County deposits you in a very real time and place, with people you might wish to be your best friends. "Jack Barton and the Black Dragon Society" follows the main character from "Leaving Juneau County" as he moves away to pursue his dream of becoming an Air Force pilot. Rooming with a Japanese American in 1959 drags Jack into the world of interracial conflicts, which jeopardize his career plans. Jack must decide whether to go "all-in" in support of his new acquaintances or walk away from the battle for justice.
