Dan Martin provides novels and short stories that feature complex characters and archetypes that will resonate with readers from a wide back ground of interests.
Wilderness settings are frequently featured in Dan's work. They are places he has known and terrain he has explored. He grew up in a family of guides and outfitters in Northern Alberta and worked several years as a field officer with Alberta Forestry Lands and Wildlife.
Dan is a semi-retired psychotherapist. Characters in his novels are often a projection of personalities he has known during many years of counselling offenders, people with personality disorders, victims of abuse and oppression, or simply those dealing with life adjustment issues.
