Dan Salerno has traveled to Northern Ireland (five times!) and to Japan on mission trips. He earned a Master's degree in Social Research while working for the National Coalition for the Homeless in New York City. After 9/11, he worked for a children's ministry in Brooklyn for 16 months. Dan has had over 100 articles published, taught English Composition, and was a kids' church teacher for 25 years. He resides in the Midwest. 20 Short Ones, published by DS Press is his first book. It's an engaging, hope-filled collection of short stories each focusing on how relationships (romantic and otherwise) begin, told from a faith-filled perspective.
