Hi there!

I’m T. Daniels, and I’m a fiction writer. I love short stories with dark twists and turns. My stories aim to ask one question: what would we do when we are pushed to our limits?

I like writing strong female characters who take charge of their affairs, and would not accept any rubbish from anyone. My goal is to entertain you with stories that will resonate with you for some time.

When I am not writing, I’m probably watching a TV show, playing games or annoying my friends (in a nice way).

About 99 Brief Scenes From The End Of The World by T.W. Grim

Decades ago, scientists sent a radio transmission into space, hoping to communicate with an extra-terrestrial culture. It detailed our culture, accumulated mathematical knowledge, and the finer points of human physiology. Now, years later, they have finally received a reply…

The Western Hemisphere is plunged into chaos, as exposure to the alien radio signal transforms millions of ordinary citizens into savage lunatics, their re-programmed minds relentlessly driving them to spread mayhem and death. From the southernmost point of Chile to the farthest reaches of Northern Canada, the day dawns upon a desperate struggle for survival. Fleeing from raging fires, disastrous havoc, and the murderous rampaging of the infected, the survivors must try to overcome the odds and survive to see tomorrow – but, with a mentally unstable President contemplating full-scale nuclear war on the East, will there even be a tomorrow?

Originally published as a condensed serial, in the SubReddit Library of Shadows, 99 Brief Scenes From the End of The World is a taut, adrenaline-fueled excursion into the darkest depths of the human id. It takes the reader from the embattled streets of suburbia to a besieged church in a Texan border town; to top-secret government facilities, where powerful men play a game of political chess, using people as pawns. Will the alien transmission succeed in destroying us all – or does salvation lie within the extraordinary mind of a catatonic little girl?

About Obake Neko (Ghost Cat)

It begins with a disappearance…
In the waning days of World War II, the Obake Neko is the last surviving Sen-Toku—a huge secret aircraft-carrier submarine created by the Imperial Japanese Navy. As the war comes to an end, the Obake Neko sets sail back to Japan with a cargo of unimaginable value. In the chaos of Japanese surrender, the clandestine vessel and its crew vanish in the seas of the South Pacific.
Fifty-five years after the war’s end, former U.S. Navy pilot, Bud Brennan breaks into Pearl Harbor’s submarine museum in Hawaii. Bud’s son, Mike, is still raw from the death of his wife and grappling with a new career but still jumps in to help his dad.
But when Bud’s antics garner the attention of the Navy’s JAG, Mike realizes his father may possess knowledge about the near-mythical Obake Neko and its fabled cargo—knowledge that is also of great value to the Japanese Yakuza.
Now, Mike must scramble to learn the whole truth of his father’s decades-old connection with the legendary Japanese submarine and fight to defend his father from relentless military authorities and deadly Yakuza operatives.
Even decades later, the Obake Neko and its legendary cargo are still worth killing over. Can Mike discover the truth and protect his dad before deadly assailants succeed in silencing Bud forever?

About The Sphelix by Jay Flaherty

What’s in a banned book? And how can I get my hands on one?

Those are the questions that drive Leo Belfin on a nightwalk through Arcton to retrieve ‘Dasher’s Revenge.’ But when Leo, his sister, and his cousin get busted with the banned book, they’re forced to drop out of school and instead join the Verdean Guard where they’ll assist in the war effort.

Leo’s only priority after that is simple: stay alive. But when a mysterious note appears under his pillow, followed by a supernatural event, Leo’s curiosity once again gets the better of him. What’s the government hiding from its citizens? How had his father actually died? How come wars are fought with bows and arrows, and not with guns like in the past?

Leo’s survival, along with the rest of his squad – which includes his sister, cousin, a boy-genius, and a curiously quiet boy – is dependent on finding the answers.

About Emperor of Mu

The Emperor of Mu is the most powerful man in the six realms, and yet finds himself defenceless against a hidden foe. Doomed to die, he plots to meet his fate.

It begins on the eve of civil war when Emperor Constantine discovers a hidden foe that has manipulated from behind the scenes for centuries. In secrecy, the emperor dispatches a letter to the Sorceress of the Powers, but the news arrives too late. Constantine is murdered, and Mu is thrown into turmoil.

South of Mu, the untrusted Illanthean sea invaders, consolidate their rule.

Author Bio:
My creative journey began while living in London designing a fantasy board game, titled the Middle Kingdom of Mu. In quiet moments, often travelling overseas on business, I had fun writing the lore and exploring different realms. Why a board game? Back then, I thought digital games would deprive our two sons of social interaction and limit their development. How the world has changed since.

Although my early career was in marketing, I never thought about creative writing, let alone whether I had the aptitude or the time. On holiday travelling to Bali, I discovered through my new Kindle, emerging novelists writing great fantasy and Sci-Fi, and this encouraged me to have a crack.

So, after years of playing the corporate warrior, I have found time to explore my creative side and give chase to wondrous ideas and storytelling that I never knew existed and sides to me I didn’t know about. Yep, it’s a bit self-revealing; who would have thought?

I’ve found that reading fantasy, especially epic fantasy, requires time and effort to allow yourself to be immersed in new worlds and their lore. So, I built a graphic website for readers to explore the World of Mu and learn about its history, lore and key characters. I’m hoping this extra effort will make the reader’s journey more enjoyable and easier. Visiting www.sagaofsix.com may help you decide whether this saga is of interest before taking the plunge.

I now live in Sydney helping business owners to develop and grow their businesses (which I enjoy and pays the bills), and with the rest of my time, I pursue the wonderous.
