As a fantasy and science fiction writer, Dan Mecham constantly looks for the mystery and adventure that lurks just beyond the ordinary. Behind every waterfall, every old bookcase, lies the potential for a hidden world. He strives to keep the constant search for wonder alive through his writing.
Dan’s goal as a writer is to uplift and inspire fellow readers to hold on as we all go through life’s ebbs and flows. The mortal journey we are all on can be tricky to navigate. What better way to travel it than with characters from a good book beside you?
Living among the beautiful red rocks of Southern Utah, Dan is a headstone designer by day, family man by night, and writer in the spaces between.
APRIL 2024
I have a couple updates for my current projects. Update 1: After feedback from multiple beta readers, I have decided to split my single book into two books. Turns out, 120,000 words is a little too long for your first YA Fantasy. Splitting it creates some issues, fixes others, and opens the door to more exploration of the cavern realm and it’s mysteries. However, that also means that I will have to hold off querying for a bit. I’ll keep you posted.
Update 2: I now have a title for book 1! EMBERS TO ASH – Book One of the Keepers of the Flame Saga. Book 2’s title is still a work in progress and I’m not at liberty to unveil it quite yet.
