J Daniel Reaves
Biography
J. Daniel Reaves starting writing in his late fifties. It was a passion that had its genesis in a poem he wrote at age eight, and continued through his formal education, where he participated in the school newspaper, eventually becoming the editor-in-chief. Throughout his life as an entrepreneur, stockbroker and finally home builder, his passion lay dormant, waiting for the proper fermentation of ideas being put into words. In both fiction and non-fiction, the author always keeps his beloved upbringing in the American Southland uppermost in his writing. Married to Stephanie Ellis Reaves, his editor and best friend, they live in suburban Atlanta and have one daughter, Emily.
