Author Bio: Daniel James Brown

      Hi friends! I have read one book by Brown and really enjoyed it, so if after this author bio, you decide to read one of his books, I hope you enjoy it as well!
      Brown was born and raised in the San Fransisco Bay Area. He attended three different colleges; Diablo Valley College, University of California at Berkeley, and UCLA. Brown taught a variety of writing classes at San Jose State University and Stanford and then became a technical writer, and then an editor. Brown eventually began writing full time. Brown enjoys writing narrative nonfiction and bringing historical events to life. Brown currently lives in Seattle, Washington with his wife cats, chickens and honeybees. Brown enjoys gardening, birding and fly fishing his spare time. 
     Brown has written three books. The Boys in the Boat is his most recent novel, and the one book I have read. I did enjoy it very much! The next book is called The Indifferent Stars Above, a book about the Donner Party Bride. The last book is called Under the Flaming Sky is about the Great Hinckley Fire of 1894. 
     I hope you enjoyed learning about Daniel James Brown today and join me on Friday for a review of The Red Tent!
