Meet the Author

Daniel Grotta is a writer, author, and journalist who has written literally thousands of articles, columns and reviews for a wide variety of prominent magazines and newspapers, as well as authored numerous books, including the first biography of J.R.R. Tolkien. In a career spanning almost forty years, Grotta has been a photojournalist, war correspondent, relief worker, investigative reporter, features writer, book critic, book editor, classical music reviewer, travel journalist, and technology writer. He has lived in, been on assignment or traveled through over 100 countries and islands. Grotta's varied life experiences and the many different kinds of people he has known along the way flavor and energize both his fiction and non-fiction. When he was a Contributing Editor at Philadelphia Magazine, he was told by a manager at Reading for the Blind that his articles were the most requested, because of the aural quality of his narrative prose. Grotta is a member of The Overseas Press Club, The Authors Guild, and the Science Fiction Writers of America.


Much of Grotta's non-fiction is co-authored with his wife Sally Wiener Grotta. Though their fiction is authored separately, they have created the village of Black Bear, Pennsylvania as a literary folie à deux. Both Daniel and Sally are dipping into the same pool of invented locale and characters to write a series of separate stories and novels that will, eventually, paint a full picture of the diversity of life and relationships in a small mountain village.

    A superb short story

    I did not know what to expect. One evening I was bored at a family event, I opened up this little gem on my kindle iphone app. I thought, "What the heck." For the rest of the night I couldn't put it down. Later on I was forced to plug in my iphone. I was forced to read this tethered to the wall. The characters were so well developed and delightful in their own respects. The novel really sucked me in. I wanted to know the outcome so much, that I found myself rushing. It's a short story, that is re-readable. You will be glad that you purchased it. Mr. Grotta has a way with words, and has formulated something marvelous. I look forward to many more stories. The only complaint I have is that it is a short story. I was left wanting more. This does not mean that in any way it feels incomplete. I felt simply that I wanted another story....to be taken someplace else by the writer upon completion. Good Stuff.
