Family & Friends

Keohane Family Home Page - A place for Keohanes around the world to leave messages and such, as well as cross links to other Keohane & related Cousins' sites. It's something ny brother Mike, sister Ellen and I started way back.

Interfaith Hospitality Network: a homeless shelter for families, composed of a network of churches and synangogues. I work for them twice a year when they come to our home town, and I'm also their webmaster. They're always in need of donations.

Calla Creations - My sister-in-law Kathleen makes gorgeous jewlery and has decided to start her own website to seel some online. Check it out!

Beeboo Baubles - Beth Mellor is a friend from town. She also makes some amazing hand-made jewelry and pendants.

Scentimentals Flowers - My friend Juliane MacDonald runs a flower shop, and has a related website for ordering flowers. It's gorgeous, check it out! Tell them Dan "scent" you... sorry about that. :)

Holden Martial Arts: my son goes there, and I can't say enough about Harry Grimm and his wife's good, serious-but-fun Kempo ship. One of the best things to have happened to Andrew and a lot of other kids.

My Publishers & Agents

Otherworld Verlag. Germany. Michael & co published Solomon's Grave in German in December '07 (as Das grab Des Salomon). (This makes country #2... any others?) He's very enthusiastic about the book, which is encouraging. Otherworld is building a nice name for themselves in the market. Hopefully I won't drag them down.

Dragon Moon Press Canada. Part of Edge/Tesseract Books, they'll be publishing Solomon's Grave in Canada & the US in 2009!

AR&R Literary Agency. Milan, Italy. Cristina Ranghetti & company are my European agents, specifically for Solomon's Grave and Plague of Darkness.

Il Punto d'Incontro. Vicenza, Italy. These folks were the first publisher to put Solomon's Grave out in Italian. It was released in December '06.

Good Places For Writers

NECON The New England Horror Conference, or Camp Necon, is the only conference I go to with any regularity. So far been attending each year since 200. Limited to 200 writers, artists, editors and some fans - this is really a retreat for working writers - it's a real mellow, sometimes crazy, fun time, where everyone talks about writing for 4 days straight. Ah.....

New England Horror Writers. A group of local horror authors from all levels of experience and success, started by myself and Michael Arruda, now run by me & L.L. Soares.

Ralan.com. One of the best free market listing sites for most every horror, sci-fi and fantasy market out there.

Publishers Marketplace . A very good place for struggling authors like me, plus agents and publishers, to peddle their/our wares. It was through this site that I originally hooked up with my Euro-agent and the Russian publisher.

Horror Writers Association. I used to be their webmaster, and did a 2.5 year stint as their "postmaster" (I answered the emails). At the moment I'm a Trustee! To find horror writers, publishers, organizations, horror-related sites, links to art, articles on writing, this is the place to be. If you're a horror writer - join... well, if you can. Tougher to get in these days...

Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America: I recently rejoined the SFWA after having left for a while, I missed sharing membership with the likes of Ray Bradbury and Ben Bova.

The Writer Magazine: I've been subscribed to this magazine for a long time, always find something to learn from in there. 70 years running, must be for a good reason.
