R. Daniel Lester Toronto

R. Daniel Lester writes into the void. Sometimes the void wins. Other times the words win. Victories include the hardboiled/humour hybrid novellas, Dead Clown Blues and 40 Nickels, aka Book 1 and 2 in the Carnegie Fitch Mystery Fiasco series, from publishers Shotgun Honey and Down & Out Books. He's also a contributor to dystopian satire site, Omnarchy.com, and been published on Little Old Lady comedy. Previously a longtime Vancouver resident, he currently lives in Toronto with his spouse and daughter. The battle with the void continues daily.
