Dan Lutts has been an avid book lover all his life. He began reading fantasy fiction in high school and even tried his hand at writing a couple of fantasy short stories. Writing has always been in his blood, though. He has worked as a freelance writer, a technical writer, and also taught technical writing at the college level. Dan especially loves YA fantasy and decided to try his hand at it. His Charm Wars Series was the result.

Dan lives in rural Maine with his wife Lisa and their two cats, Lillie and Mattie. When he’s not working or writing, Dan can be found reading, making and shooting medieval arrows at targets with his longbow, and playing with Lillie and Mattie.

Marie Sutcliff is one of my favorite authors and some of her books are difficult to get. Sutcliff was also a remarkable woman who overcome a horrible physical handicap as a child and ended up writing YA novels about Roman Britain and King Arthur.(less)

How Old I Was When I Started Writing

Some people have asked how old I was when I started writing. I was twenty-one. At that time I was an avid reader of fantasy and science fiction novels. (My older brother was an avid SciFi fan too.) I sent out my first manuscript to Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine when I was 21 years old. It was a short piece called The Circle.

The Circle takes place in 1930 and is about a twenty-nine-year-old
