Education
He graduated from Boston University with a political science major and returned to receive his MA in Mass Communication.[2]
Writing
Daniel began to pursue writing after the dotcom wave disrupted his previous technology career and led him to begin writing about his thoughts through short stories. He took his previous technology background and incorporated that into the themes of his thriller novels. His first, Delirious, follows the downfall of an electronic guru, Charlie, who’s own GPS invention unravels a murder trail.[3] Like Delirious, Palmer’s upcoming novels expose and create fear of the hidden dangers of today’s popular technology.[4] Daniel has co-written two short stories with his father, Michael Palmer, both for International Thriller Writer publications. The first story, Disfigured appeared in Thriller: Stories to Keep You Up at Night, edited by James Patterson. His second collaboration, The Dead Club, was published in the First Thrills Anthology edited by Lee Child.
Music
Daniel taught himself to play guitar and performed in the Boston club scene with various bands for several years. Daniel has recorded two albums: Alien Love Songs (2000) and Home Sweet Home (2007), both of which were produced by Don DiLego of Velvet Elk Studios. Daniel’s music style is influenced by both Americana and classic rock traditions. Retail clothing giant, J.Crew, licensed Daniel’s song “Perfect Place to Be” for commercial use.[5]
