A Little Bit About Dan Kelly the Author
"May you always find a good book to read and the time to enjoy it!"
After spending forty years in the real world of domestic and international banking, my writing activities being largely restricted to business plans, internal memos, advertising copy, news releases and speeches, I decided I had had enough of the real world and made up my mind to pursue something I’ve wanted to do for quite a while, immerse myself in the world of make believe just for the sheer joy of letting my imagination and creative juices run wild.
Except for the occasional humorous ode for the enjoyment of family, friends and colleagues, I never had the time to indulge the more fanciful side of my nature, but since July 2007 I’ve made great progress in atoning for that neglect. My Irish sense of humor coupled with my experience in dealing with a broad spectrum of people from all walks of life and social status are proving to be a wonderful reservoir of inspiration for me in character and story development.
Celestial Capers, Casino Capers, Computer Capers, Caribbean Capers, Carat Capers, Calling Card Capers, Cabernet Capers, Calumny Capers, Canyon Capers, Capital Capers, Counterfeiting Capers, Cryptography Capers, Chopper Capers, Campaign Capers and Chattanooga Capers are the products of my first fifteen mental voyages into the realm of make believe and I hope you will be as delighted as I was to make these trips. I am currently embarked on my sixteenth safari into the relatively unexplored dimensions of my imagination, Canine Capers, and I am finding the expedition as thoroughly enjoyable as my first fifteen tours. I’m hoping you will too.
