Biographie de Douglas Daech

Born near Detroit Michigan and then transplanted to Tampa, Florida, Douglas now finds himself in rural Kentucky, He has been writing for most of his life. He has been married to his soul mate Julie, since 1998. He has two children, Pam and Dallas. John-Boy Walton was a major influence who led him to write. That character's smooth voice, full of 20/20 wisdom and confidence, drew him into the Walton family's story every week.
Similar to John-Boy's family, his was large too. As the second youngest of eight children, Douglas fancied himself to be the writer of the family. Just as in the Walton family, all of the children grew up and went their own way, becoming chefs, truckers, medical workers, and more. And still, Douglas writes, thanking John-Boy every time he starts a new project. Past experience includes articles in the Tripolitan, (Journal of the Tripoli Rocket Association, June 1991) and TRASH (Tampa Regional Aero-Space Hobbyist).
In 1993 and 1994 many articles were published in the Unauthorized Launch, the Tampa Tripoli High Power Rocket Club newsletter. In May, 2004, a science fiction Short story was published in the online magazine NTH Degree. Also, an award for creative nonfiction was awarded in the 2007 Frank and Cellia Conley Writing Contest at Western Kentucky University. In 2012 his first novel titled "Time Travel and Dimensional Journeys" was published as an e-book.
Haunted Romance, Seedy Hills, an Odd Little Town, and Sunset of Dreams followed with a mix of mystery and paranormal themes. In total Douglas now has eight titles available at various online vendors, with more on the way.
