Daedalus Howell

I’m Daedalus Howell (DAY-de-lus howl), a writer, filmmaker, and journalist, living and working in Petaluma, CA. I began my life in letters as a paperboy but eventually grew into a newspaperman.

Since then, I’ve clocked hundreds of bylines, written novels, and screenplays, and made films, music videos, and conceptual art installations. I directed the feature film Pill Head (“…Satirically off-the-wall…” — Press Democrat) and am the author, most recently, of Quantum Deadline, a “…noirish, sci-fi-lite detective story with a heap of self-parody,” according to one critic.

I’m currently the editor of the North Bay Bohemian and Pacific Sun newspapers, and in 2023, my second feature film, a werewolf flick, is coming to a screen near you.
