Daniel Mark Patterson is a Writer and Spoken Word Artist from Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada. He has been a fixture on stages both locally and nationally since 2010 at open mics, poetry slams, National Festivals. He is the author of 7 chapbooks and 2 books self-published on Amazon. As his first love is the stage, he is new to the publishing world but in his first year of sending out submissions he has published roughly a dozen poems, landed his first book deal, and just been nominated for the Pushcart Prize. This is a scary new facet to his writing career but is off to a promising start. In another time he would have spent his life huddled in the shadows of a campfire telling stories.
