M. Daniel Smith is a first-time author, with an interest in historical fiction novels.

He enjoys writing about strong willed, feisty women and the men they love, showing them in moments of emotional turmoil, introspective conversation, and physical closeness.

Coming from a blue-collar background, raised with two older sisters and strong women role models, he enjoys the interplay between wives and husbands, siblings, and people meeting, then falling in love.

A lifetime reader of all the books in his parent’s library, starting from age five on, he cut his teeth on a wide range of subject matters, covering war, romance, historical novels, and the like.

Now retired, a life-long Mainer living in the mid-coast region, he spends his time writing the type of novels he grew up with, telling his character’s stories as clearly, and as honestly as possible.
