Raised on the writings of authors long before the 1980s, Daniel P. Riley has always told stories. An avid roleplayer in his youth, he crafted action-packed and engaging stories for his friends around the table yet dreamed of writing his own novels. Three years ago, he finally did so and has written 5 novels and 9 short stories for Ironage Media’s story prompt challenge alone, with many more to come. A former educator with a teaching degree, Daniel now dedicates his life to writing whimsical and intriguing books while coaching others on their literary journey to being published through his website: whimsyland where links to his books and productions also live.

In addition to coaching and writing, Daniel hosts a group of indie-pub and ironage authors called Laureate on Discord and can be seen every Friday on Iron Age Knights with host Royce and Richard.
