Dan Houston is an aerospace electrical engineer who, after 35 years in the industry, got tired of writing technical documents and decided to explore other forms of fiction. He began his writing career by penning bedtime stories for his two daughters, sharing only one page at a time during their goodnight calls while he traveled for work. Though he still writes for his two daughters, Dan is ready to expand his audience to fans of western, action, and science fiction genres with stories that emphasize traditional values and strong characters.

Houston’s short story “The Turn at Crooked Creek” appears in Just One . . . : A Summer Romance Anthology (2025). Follow him on his author website.
