Daniel Bissey was raised in Colorado Springs, Colorado, at the foot of Pikes Peak, where a love of the outdoors comes with the view. Childhood visits to Alaska carried it further, teaching Daniel to chase adventure, to keep a free soul and a wide-open imagination, and to love the natural world and the joy of exploring it.
The same wonder points up at the stars. The vision of humanity crossing the galaxy in spectacular starships isn’t just a fantasy, but a conviction that humanity can do better. We could be explorers and discoverers of so many amazing and beautiful mysteries if we can all set aside our differences, unite around shared visions, and work together to get there.
Daniel’s passion project, astrisproject.org, works to help the world reach that future, and to make humanity better along the way.
Behind it all is one hope: that people everywhere will set aside their differences and come together to seek knowledge and explore the unknown, toward a future where no one has to suffer while others have so much more.
Daniel is the proud parent of Autumn, the coolest kid around, and learned to love writing from a father who loved it first. Aftwend is the first book in a planned seven-book series.
