Authors

Most of Altimexis' stories focus on gay kids in high school, but they include all age groups, even into the 'golden years'. Most of the stories are serial, often covering a group of characters over a period of years. They include short stories, novels and novellas, and involve romance, drama and some science fiction. Background material has been heavily researched and is generally accurate at the time of writing. Stories are set in and around Indianapolis, where the author grew up, and New York City, where the author now lives, but may include travel all over the globe.

My stories live in the everyday - in the quiet, ordinary moments where family, friendship, and love collide. They’re slice-of-life at heart: realistic, grounded, and woven with the kinds of small details that make life feel real, even when they seem mundane.

I write about characters learning who they are, navigating relationships that can lift them up or break them down, and facing choices that often ripple far beyond themselves. Some stories close on a hopeful note, with growth and connection; others follow harsher truths, where endings can be bitter, even tragic. But no matter where they land, each story is about the struggle and beauty of personal growth, and how we’re shaped by the people closest to us.

D.K. Daniels writing is grounded with realism. He writes many genres; romance, thriller, drama, horror. His stories are gritty in some instances, brutal in others and downright sweet when the touch needs to be applied. The author's primary goal when setting out to write is to entertain himself; some of his writing maybe sad, dark or gentle. So, gritty and rough are things to expect when dramas and thrillers are in place; whereas sweet and gentle can be expected if its a puppy love tale.

Dodger was born in Canada, started school in the UK, attended elementary school in Canada, secondary school in the UK, and high school in Canada, before returning to the UK to serve an apprenticeship. It’s no wonder he’s confused! After moving country eight times in thirty years, Dodger prides himself on his diversity, and this is reflected in his stories with a growing collection from both sides of the Atlantic.

My writing explores the human experience and focuses on characters finding their way. It is often reflective or descriptive of the emotional, spiritual, and profound discovered in life’s moments. I love words that carry unexpected insight; Contrasting or seemingly dissimilar ideas that suddenly align in moments of epiphany.
