Dan Garmen

Biography

Growing up in the Midwest, Dan Garmen was torn between being on the radio, flying airplanes and making music for a living, so he did all three! A 30 year radio veteran, Dan did drivetime shows in a number of cities, including Washington, DC, Cincinnati and Chicago. After 20 of those years, he tired of getting up at 3:30 in the morning, and spent the next decade on the air at a more humane hour, while turning his habit of writing from hobby to livelihood. Somewhere along the way, he married, had a son and finally began riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles, as his brother, father and grandfather had. An agreement with his wife of 25 years means he will most probably be the last of his line to do so, though that will ultimately be up to his son.

Smashwords Interview

Some readers have complained that the story of “Time Flying” is incomplete. Is there more?
Yes, there is. The last words of the book are “The End of Part One,” and I am working on part two. The book’s ending is definitely a cliff-hanger, but I know that some people read the final chapter as a ridiculously sped-up finishing up of the story, but it’s really a connector to the sequel, tentatively titled “Passed Lives.”
Time Travel fans have also complained that the ending makes no sense. How is it Richard suddenly ends up in the 1950s?
I can say without spoiling, that the story that begins with “Time Flying” is a tale of two different kinds of time travel, consciousness and bodily. Readers of “The Time Traveler Blog,” from which the book is derived, know that Richard travels bodily to 1933, a trip documented by the letter, written by his grandfather, that is given to Richard. How his experience in his own past relates to his time travel to 1933, and how those two types of travel are connected is the subject of Passed Lives.
