Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

After a childhood in academia, J. Daniel Sawyer declared his independence by dropping out of high school and setting off on a series of adventures in the bowels of the film industry, the venture capital culture of Silicon Valley, surfing safaris, bohemians, burners, historians, theologians, adventurers, climbers, drug dealers, gangbangers, and inventors bred in him an obsession with staying one step ahead of the future springing uncontrollably out of the past.

To date, this obsession has yielded over thirty books and innumerable short stories, the occasional short film, nearly a dozen podcasts stretching over a decade and a half, and a career creating novels and audiobooks exploring the world through the lens of his own peculiar madness, in the depths of his own private forest in a rural exile, where he uses the quiet to write, walk on the beach, and manage a production company that brings innovative stories to the ears of audiences across the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic mix of Joy, humor and sadness.
Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2012
A fantastic mix of sadness and joy. Made me laugh and made me cry.

So very well written. I adore these short stories. They all make you think, a few made me laugh and "A Goblet of Fifty-Three" made me cry. Oh so worth it.
