About the Author

Dan Wickline is a published writer and photographer. Born in Norwalk, California, he currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife Debbie and three cats: Tiger, Panther, and Crash and dog Artemis. Dan has written for Image Comics, IDW Publishing, Humanoids Publishing, Zenescope Entertainment, Avatar Press, Cellar Door Publishing and Moonstone Books. Recently Dan has written the re-launch of ShadowHawk for Image Comics and the on-going Sinbad series for Zenescope. Dan has also written a children's story entitled The Royal Crown Mystery Detective League that is available for electronic readers.
The creation of Lucius Fogg came about over a six-year period. A short story called Three Little Ladies All in the Morgue was written in two thousand five and introduced the characters of Lucius and Jimmy Doyle. In two thousand ten, while looking for a new project to play with, Dan decided to tell more stories with his occultist and detective and began about writing what would be the bulk of this novel live on Twitter. With no pre-planning, Dan would write a chapter a day live using Twitter and its 140 character per post limit. By combining the short story and the Twitter story, Dan came up with Deadly Creatures.
