| Name: | Danny Adams |

| Location: | Deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Virginia, United States |
| Bio: | I grew up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwest Virginia, where I'm living again after a nice three year interlude in Northern Virginia. I was lucky enough to snag a job as a college librarian, though my ultimate aspiration is to write science fiction and fantasy for a living.
I am the co-author, with Philip Jose Farmer, of the short novel The City Beyond Play, released in September 2007 by PS Publishing. (Introduction by Chris Roberson and afterword by Tracy Knight.)
My fantasy story "Village of One Thousand Cranes" is available as a (very) limited edition mini-book from Papaveria Press.
You'll hear a lot about whatever I happen to be writing at the time (The Course of Heaven: finished 1/1/04 ... The Dark Horse: finished 2/27/05 ... The Matter of Camelot: finished 4/28/06).
I do reviews for Some Fantastic as well as essays and other such things for Farmerphile, the official Philip Jose Farmer fan magazine. And last but not least, I am a member of the Science Fiction Poetry Association.
Finally, and most important, my favorite person in the world married me on the 26th of May 2002! Everything else of importance you can read about in my Journal entries.
