When writing fiction, an author often begins with some “What if” questions. Dan asked: What if there really is other intelligent life in the universe, and what if that intelligent life is like nothing we’ve imagined thus far? What if we’ve been wrong in every assumption regarding beings from other planets?
From those questions, Planet of Eden was born. Then, halfway into writing it, Dan saw that one book would not be enough and he began planning for a series of books. But let’s not jump ahead. As Dan says, “Eden came first,” so here is what you can expect in this upcoming novel that will challenge you to reconsider your own ideas about what else might be out there among the galaxies…
