Dan Krotz After leaving the US Army, Dan worked various odd jobs while studying at the University of Minnesota.  In 1983, he and a partner launched a software start-up and Dan hit the road to peddle it. That was the start of his life as a traveling man  who's been in every state of the Union, along with towns in Korea, the  Ukraine, Laos, Cambodia, the Former Soviet Union, Egypt, Malawi,  Zimbabwe, Eastern Europe, Italy, Kosovo...well, let's just say that Dan  "was on the last slow boat to China and the last plane to leave Saigon."   Feet on the road for sure, but with heart and mind in the  little town of Berryville, nestled in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas.  Dan wrote about life in the Ozarks while sitting in airports all over the world, imagining and bringing to life it's odd culture, tender time-traveling mercies, and occasional visits by time traveling saints, reformed serial killers, and the real-life people who happened to find their way into fiction.
