I'm
Daniel Micko. I'm a writer. I was born in University City, St. Louis, MO. Grew
up in Missouri, Georgia, Florida, and the Bay Area. I currently live in the Bay
Area. I graduated from Georgia State with a Film Analysis degree (Undergrad)
and did my Master's work at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. I
love storytelling and all mediums. I've work hard to shape my process.
What
inspired you to author this book?
My
first book. It was an amazing experience, and I want to write more books. I
believe I'm building a universe or a series through them. For Predator / Nomad
I got my idea from a research lab that used stem cells and I ran with it from
there.

Where
did you get the inspiration for your book’s cover?
The
two vectors of the person and the shadow really intrigued me. That was the
basis. I just kept seeing a person with an odd shadow. It became metaphorical
to me.

Who
has been the most significant influence on you personally and as a writer?
My
aunt Breggie James and my father Steven Micko. My dad passed away in 1997, but
he had writings that never got published. My aunt has written two books
independently and I watched her take that journey. Her actions made me believe
writing and publishing a book is possible.

What
were your struggles or obstacles you had to overcome to get this book written?
The
marriage of character with plot became a difficulty. I had so many notes
surrounding these characters with thoughts and feelings that I wasn't sure
exactly how things would end. Following the characters from place to place
became an adventure.
Tell
your readers about your book.
Predator
/ Nomad is a story about right and wrong. When you read it, you should be
conflicted with the choices each character makes and why they are doing it.
It's an allegory and comment on our society. Social deviance and disruption are
also underlying themes. The book is meant to seem mundane but once you try to
decide the hero or the villian, the themes become more prominent.

is your target audience, and why?
People
who analyze injustice. If the journey to justice is important to you then buy
this book.
What
do you consider your greatest success in life?
Finding
truth and committing to what I believe is right.
What
one unique thing sets you apart from other writers in your genre?
I
learned visual storytelling before I wrote a book. No one can see the world
like me and vice versa.
