About
Daniel Jones writes action thrillers in the creature feature niche. His passion for mythical creatures and natural wildlife inspire him to create exciting stories that blend Horror, Fantasy, and Science Fiction. The core theme in most of his work is survival, and he'll drive his characters to dig into their deepest selves, bringing out who his characters are and what they can be in the face of life-or-death situations. The places he brings his readers to feel vibrant, alive, natural, full of wonder, and are filled with danger.
He grew up in a military family, moving all over the world. He's lived in 3 US states, Japan, Germany, and the UK. The stories he learned in many of those places are what fueled his desire to learn about mythologies, nature, and history from all over the world from a different perspective. And it's influenced his storytelling, and what he does with his writing. His stories are meant to be entertaining while focusing on what makes us human, and explore what drives us to survive.

Featured Work
Hydra's Wake
When dirigible pilot Rogue Whip crashes in the Deep Forest Province of Shell, he takes refuge in an old, abandoned mining camp. However, he quickly discovers the camp is the territory of the four-headed hydra—a rare but vicious creature that mercilessly hunts and kills its victims using its “wake,” an airborne toxin that causes hallucinations.
However, the hydra isn’t the only monster out for Rogue’s blood. The sadistic Lord Albert Richtoff has hired a mercenary to take out Rogue, confusing him with a spy by the same name. As his enemies fall under the influence of the hydra’s wake, Rogue rescues a beautiful but mute woman whom Lord Albert abused and left for dead. To rescue her and survive, the hunted now becomes the hunter. But can Rogue kill both the hydra and Albert, or will they destroy him first?
