Daniel Hay

I am an avid classical music composer. One of my instrumental solo pieces was the inspiration for my story, "The Lost Lullaby," and has the same name. I enjoy writing stories for children and especially for parents or grandparents to read to them.

My stories and my music are created mostly so that my grandchildren will have a part of me at hand. They are created as entertainment and should be fun to read and morally supportive without being overbearing.

Where do I get my ideas? Mostly from a sleep-deprived, overactive imagination. At one time, I lived in a one-room cabin, much like a one-room schoolhouse, only smaller.

An enduring goal of mine is to be the first person living on Mars.
