James, Daniel: - Daniel James is an author of speculative fiction from Liverpool, England. He is the recipient of 3 Kirkus Star reviews for his supernatural fantasy thrillers Hourglass, The Ferryman's Toll, and the upcoming Hair-Trigger Smile. Hourglass was also voted one of their Best 100 Indie novels of 2021.He is represented by Laurie Blum Guest at Re-Naissance Agency. Daniel first began writing as a hobby and creative outlet to distract himself from the mundanity of completing his Bachelors of Science at Liverpool Hope University. Growing up, he spent perhaps a little too much time daydreaming about superheroes and horror movies. In his mid-teens he got his first bass guitar and joined his first rock band, and growing up he maintained this interest in music, playing in several other bands and gigging locally, which is one of the reasons why he always insists on putting music in his novels.
