Dan CottonDan Cotton spent the first fifteen years of his working life travelling the world with the Grey Funnel Line (Royal Navy). He then joined the world of commerce and pretty much carried on travelling as before. In the eighties, he started a business tha eventually listed on the Stock Exchange and delisted in 1989 after the crash of 1987. He didn't make much money, but he learned the hard way, about the underbelly of high-end business operations and decided there were better ways to earn a crust.Twelve years in the IT world kept him going until he decided to do his own thing and start an art gallery with a picture fram-ing service. They are all in the past and in the event that he doesn't make squillions from his writing, he'll still be scratching away until he carks it. *Who is Dan Cotton? Sometimes, even he's not sure. He's one of those folks who, no matter where they are in the world, will always be mistaken for someone else.*Having written nothing more than business proposals and letters, he started on his first manuscript and soon realised he badly needed help. That's when he joined the Katharine Susannah Prichard Writing Centre (WA) and, with encouragement and critique from KSP's Thursday Night Group, he has been able to complete three trilogies comprising, "Triptych", "Toxic Trade" and "Terrorist". "WTF," "Quarry" and "Bird of Prey," then "Full Circle," "End Game," and "Spore". "Recoverance Inc" is the second novel of a fourth trilogy which includes "Traffic" and "Plausible Deniability".He has also written a number of short stories, poems, and drabbles which are published in various anthologies. In addition, he has completed another full-length work, "The Second Meridian," in the speculative fiction genre. Read More Read Less
