D.A. Stone
Biography
Growing up in small town USA and encouraged by his parents as well as some pretty great elementary school teachers, D.A. Stone was easily drawn to a love of reading. He began at age eight with his favorite Rikki-Tikki-Tavi (Kipling) and moved quickly to Watership Down (Richard Adams). In his teens, he delved into reading just about everything he could and especially enjoyed spending the midnight hours with a copy of the latest Stephen King novel never far from reach.
When D.A. began to write, his obsession to find his vision would eventually lead him to discover the power of fantasy. In his own words, “The fantastical can exist, but only if your execution of it is solid. It is escapism, but when done properly and you strip all the layers of any fantasy story down to the bones, you see that there is usually something very simple and truthful staring back at you. For a writer, it’s freedom.”
D.A. lives in a small town outside of Philadelphia, where he plans his many world travels (another passion). Shadow of the Mountain is his first novel.
