He has often written under the pseudonym Daniel Parker (his middle name, which is easier to spell and pronounce than his last), and occasionally Erin Haft. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife Jessica, as well as a scruffy dog named Gibby and a psychotic cat named Bootsy. When he isn't writing, he tirelessly travels the globe on a doomed mission to achieve rock stardom. As of this date, his musical credits include the composition of bluegrass soundtrack numbers for the epic straight-to-video B movie The Grave, a brief stint playing live rap music to baffled Filipino audiences in Hong Kong, and scoring the still-p

I'm an Australian author currently living in Egypt. I love to read and write, obviously or I wouldn't be an author!
Buy books on Amazon
I write across a few genres - women's fiction, short reads about cats and paranormal fiction.
I love cats, which is why I write about them and here in Egypt there are many street cats. I feed the street cats around my apartment building every day, and love the peaceful time I spend with them every afternoon.
I love to draw too, but have very little artistic talent. So I draw patterns and shapes, kind of like zentangle but with my own twist to it.
A lot of writers will tell you they are fueled by coffee, but for me it's tea. Earl Grey, Lady Grey, English Breakfast, Green tea, any tea really. And chocolate. -
